Forrest, William Mentzel, b. 1868,. Correspondence regarding the first University of Virginia copy of Eliot's Indian Bible [manuscript] 1907 Jul 11.

Title: Correspondence regarding the first University of Virginia copy of Eliot's Indian Bible [manuscript] 1907 Jul 11.

William M. Forrest writes Tuttle in reference to the University of Virginia Library's copy of Eliot's Indian Bible; he states that the Library possessed a copy that had formerly belonged to "Dr. C.D. Ebeling." Ebeling's books were purchased "by I[srael] Thorndike and given to Harvard in 1818." Harvard sold the Bible in 1819 and in "some unknown way, the U.Va. got it by 1828." Forrest states that the Bible was in the University of Virginia Library as late as 1892 and asks if the Bible was destroyed in the 1895 Rotunda fire. Tuttle's reply (dated July 12, 1907) states that the Bible was listed in the 1828 Catalogue of the University Library and in "a manuscript catalogue of the Library, begun in 1858." This manuscript catalogue "was used as a check list after the fire and records the book as lost in the fire."

Woolsey family papers, 1750-1969 (bulk 1811-1921)

Title: Woolsey family papers, 1750-1976 (inclusive), 1811-1921 (bulk).

The papers document three generations of the Woolsey family. The most prominent figures in the collection are William Walton Woolsey (1766-1839), land owner and merchant in New York City; his son, Theodore Dwight Woolsey (1801-1889), Greek scholar, political theorist and president of Yale College; and Theodore Salisbury Woolsey (1852-1929), professor of international law at Yale Law School, son of Theodore Dwight Woolsey. The papers of William Walton Woolsey contain extensive business correspondence, ledgers, legal papers, documents relating to land sales in New York and Ohio, as well as family and personal letters. Since he was engaged in the importation of sugar, cotton and hardware, some of his business correspondence is political with discussions of the Jay Treaty of 1794, the problems of piracy, American neutrality in the 1790s and the general politics of the period. Important correspondents are Chauncey Goodrich, Archibald Gracie, Eli Whitney, Noah Webster, Elihu and Nathaniel Chauncey, Oliver Wolcott, Benjamin Tallmadge, Jedidiah Morse, James Roosevelt, John A. Schuyler, Comfort Sands, John Broome, and Nicholas Bayard. The papers of Theodore Dwight Woolsey contain his writings on Greek language and literature, the Bible, international law and the texts of his sermons.

Title: Diary, 1673 Aug 18 - 1676 May 23.

Manuscript on paper, in a single hand, of the diary of a dissenting divine living in Ireland who records, with close interest, the progress of the Dutch War and other domestic and foreign activities, including a famine in Ireland, the activities of Louis II de Bourbon Prince de Conde, persecutions against nonconformists in England, and notes about the American colonies. On November 16, 1675, he writes, "I first heard of a War begun in N. England. Our first report is that the French joine with the Indians...A famine feared in N. England & Virginia by reason of 2 unseasonable yeares...The merchants forbid any more goods to bee sent from Londont o N.E. All the country, prepareing for war." Taylor mentions the work of John Eliot among the Indians and quotes a letter from Increase Mather. The manuscript also includes accounts of crimes, such as the description of an apprentice stabbed with a rapier hidden in a cane, notes on "prodigies," signs, and portents, and the description of "an unusuall distemper which was generally called a cold, November 1675."

Eliot, John, 1604-1690. Letters, 1657-1681.

Title: Letters, 1657-1681.

Copies of letters, made by Rev. John Waddington, from John Eliot to Henry Ashurst and Robert Boyle, respectively Treasurer and Governor of the Society for Propagation of the Gospel in New England, which supported Eliot and other agents in their attempts to establish colonies of "praying Indians." Other English supporters included Lady Mary Armine and the Reverend Henry Jessey. Eliot kept the Corporation apprised of his progress, requested the services of Jonathan Ince, an Indian linguist, and repeatedly asked for further funding. When King Philip's War erupted, Eliot reported to his supporters the massacres and forced removal of Indians to Deer Isle where many of the "praying Indians" starved to death. Eliot comments on the effect of the war on his work and the work of agents Daniel Gookin and Thomas Mayhew.
