Matthias Murray Marshall papers, 1823-1912.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/23658366

The collection includes personal, religious, and business correspondence and other papers of the Reverend Matthias Murray Marshall, chiefly while he was rector of Christ Church (Episcopal) in Raleigh, N.C., but also during his attendance at Trinity College, Hartford, Conn., and at the University of North Carolina in Chapel Hill, N.C. Included are records, 1876-1879 and 1885-1892, of visits to parishioners; scrapbooks; and memorandum books, mainly relating to Christ Church. The early letters, 1824-1825, relate to a controversy between Professor Elisha Mitchell of UNC and Bishop John Stark Ravenscroft about religious doctrines and denominational influence at UNC. Other correspondents include Kemp Plummer Battle, Charles Manly, George E. Badger, Paul C. Cameron, Joseph Blount Cheshire, Jr., Sallie M. Cameron, the Reverend E. A. Osborne, Thomas S. Kenan, and Jonathan Worth. Volumes include an 1861 daily diary that Marshall kept as a student at Trinity and at UNC and notes on a voyage from Baltimore, Md., to San Francisco, Calif., in 1883.
