Title: [Letter] 1858 May 10, Washington, D.C. to [John Albert Broadus] / G.W. Samson. 1858.

Broadus had asked Samson's advice concerning a possible successor for his pastorate at Charlottesville (Va.) Baptist Church should he accept a professorship in the newly organized Southern Baptist Theological Seminary. Samson suggested "I think that either Prof. A.J. [Adoniram Judson] Huntington, our collegue, or Rev. J.R. [Jacob Richardson] Scott, now of Rochester, N.Y. might be obtained." Told Broadus that he had just written to "Bro. [James P.] Boyce recommending a visit here after the June meetings." Broadus served the church until 1859. He was succeeded by Abram Burwell Brown.

Title: [Letter] 1859 Oct. 18, Charlottesville [Va.] to [John Albert Broadus] / A.P. Abell. 1859.

Concerning Broadus's successor as pastor of the Charlottesville Baptist Church: "Elder [Abram Burwell] Brown was called by a very decided vote on the first ballot. It would have been unanimous but that our Bro. J.H.B. got a fancy that he would oppose it and circulated, largely, a representation of a difficulty between Brown and his [or this] church and diverted some small number towards [A.J.] Huntingdon with a further idea that Dr. Sampson [i.e. G.W. Samson] would like to take the place ... [John] Hart agrees to be licensed."

Charles Eliot Norton papers

Title: Charles Eliot Norton papers

This archive contains letters addressed to Charles Eliot Norton from about 1845 to1908. Norton was a Harvard graduate (A.B. 1846) and professor of the History of Fine Arts at Harvard from 1874 to 1898, with a special interest in the study and translation of Dante. Many of the letters in this collection deal with art and with Dante. In addition he knew a great many prominent figures in both England and the United States, especially those in the political field and the literary and artistics fields. His correspondence with these people often touches upon their public and their private lives. From 1863 to 1868 Norton was joint editor with his friend James Russell Lowell of the North American review. The letters addressed to him as editor are marked in this index by a star (*) and the folders containing them are stamped with a red N.A.R.(=North American Review). In 1898 Norton's opposition to the Spanish-American war led Senator George F. Hoar to criticize him. A list of some of the letters Norton received commenting on this controversy is at the end of this index. Referenced throughout the finding aid is the Excavations at Delphi (scrapbook folder) with a folder designation, such as f.1, f.2, and so on. All folders can be found at item number 5308.
