Newton, William Taylor. William T. Newton papers, 1827-1884.

Title: William T. Newton papers, 1827-1884.

The earliest letters in this collection are from William Taylor of Barkhamsted to his daughter and her husband, Abigail and Nathaniel Bacon. Two letters in 1854 are written to or by Nathaniel Bacon regarding the South Congregational Church in Middletown. The bulk of the correspondence is addressed to William T. Newton who was living in the Boston area. His correspondents included his mother Julia Newton, his brother Charles W. Newton, his sister Laura (his siblings wrote primarily about his health, which was poor), Wilson Flagg, Oliver W. Holmes, James Freeman Clarke, and the poet Laura M. Marquand. Flagg discussed his articles on Ralph Waldo Emerson, as did James Freeman Clark. Holmes thanked Newton for his offer of assistance in writing a memoir of Emerson. Also in the collection are letters to Charles Worthington from Charles W. Newton, two essays that might have been penned by William T. Newton, and several cartoon-like drawings, possibly done by a child.
