Series 1: Correspondence, 1888 -- 1904
This series is open for research.
0.5 linear feet; 0.5 linear feet; 1 box
This series contains correspondence, predominantly written by Hastings to John C. Brown, Charles Butler, and J.M. Ludlow, but occasionally letters not of Hastings' authorship or other documents are enclosed. The letters are chiefly concerned with the business of Union Theological Seminary, such as faculty appointments, curriculum planning, and financial matters, but personal matters, such as the progress of Brown's son, Williams Adams Brown, as a professor at the seminary and the death of Hastings' son, are occasionally referenced. The correspondence with John C. Brown also contains extensive discussion of matters relating to the Charles Briggs heresy trials. Most of the letters are handwritten, but some later correspondence is typewritten.
