This collection includes approximately 70 manuscript letters addressed to Frank and Jane Norton, primarily from friends and relatives. Although a few of the letters underscore church business and religious matters, the majority concern personal and family matters. The collection also includes a large number of invoices detailing a wide array of goods and services purchased by the Norton's, such as groceries, clothing, shoes, books, stationary, office supplies, home furnishings, coal, and electricity. Many of the providers of these goods and services were situated in Troy, New York, which indicates the Norton's were living there at the time.

Doane, William Croswell, 1832-1913. William Croswell Doane papers, 1855-1883.

Title: William Croswell Doane papers, 1855-1883.

Papers associated with this prominent High Church bishop largely concern affairs of the Diocese of New Jersey, with comments on his father, Bishop George W. Doane, and on Bishop William H. Odenheimer, also of New Jersey, and affairs of the newly organized Diocese of Albany. Most of the correspondence is with Bishop William Rollinson Whittingham. Correspondence begins with Doane's early ministry in St. Barnabas's and St. Mary's Churches, Burlington, N.J., and Burlington College, 1855-1862. He declines offers of parishes in Maryland and supports Bishop Whittingham in his Civil War troubles. Several letters are about Doane's election as Bishop of Albany, opposition thereto, and defense of his churchmanship, 1868-1869. Some concern clergy matters and Doane's wish to found a hospital in his Diocese. He promotes the appointment of Whittingham to attend the conferences of the Old Catholic Churches in Bonn and Cologne in the 1870s, and writes of relations with the Church of England and the Lambeth Conferences. Some papers relate to his work on the Mexican Commission of the House of Bishops, 1874-1876, concerning the Church of Jesus in Mexico. Other letters reflect Doane's views on the Eucharist, ritual, and the constitution of the House of Clerical and Lay Deputies. The correspondence ends with a difference of opinion with Bishop William Pinkney of Maryland over a point of canon law.
