I was able to find this primary source which is a letter written by the citizens of New London to President George Washington promoting the town as a possible location for a Federal University that was to be established in Virgina. The document describes New London as having a "...Healthy Populous [and] Wealthy Economy" while also mentioning New London Academy. https://www.loc.gov/resource/mgw4.108_0732_0736/?sp=1 Mlemon1 (talk) 08:43, 15 February 2018 (UTC)
 * I was also able to find this book that describes the building of the Courthouse in New London. https://archive.org/stream/historicalsketch00lyn#page/16/mode/2up/search/new+london Mlemon1 (talk) 01:26, 16 February 2018 (UTC)

I found this book, https://play.google.com/books/reader?id=5vE5AAAAcAAJ&printsec=frontcover&output=reader&hl=en&pg=GBS.PA389, about Patrick Henry which has a small section about the Hook Case. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Amoore97 (talk • contribs) 12:47, 15 February 2018 (UTC)   https://books.google.com/books?id=Ajq6duOCLgcC&pg=PT180&lpg=PT180&dq=patrick+henry+the+hook+case&source=bl&ots=ZgSQES1QY0&sig=kU7uiuMnVK5XMEulIfTIiwLSHhU&hl=en&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwj8sYX6l6jZAhWEhOAKHQnzDGkQ6AEILzAB#v=onepage&q=new%20london&f=false

Content in userspace
Hi! I just wanted to say that there is content in the students' userspace that wasn't moved live, if anyone is curious. Shalor (Wiki Ed) (talk) 15:21, 27 August 2018 (UTC)

General Evaluation of the Article
Overall, the article is well written, concise, and does well with staying on topic. There was a minor error with remaining consistent in the names of historic sites in all sections (i.e. the New London Methodist Episcopal Church South) that I corrected.

The information is good but some areas could use more information added to give the reader a more complete picture.Pcburghardt (talk) 00:27, 2 February 2020 (UTC)
