Papers reveal various facets of the life of Ida Mason (Dorsey) Brown as a wife, mother, grandmother, and church woman, including twenty- three years spent in Brazil with her husband, William Cabell Brown, a Protestant Episcopal missionary and later Bishop of Virginia. Correspondence includes letters of condolence to his widow upon the bishop's death and letters from her children, John Dorsey Brown, Katherine Mason Brown, and Margaret Cabell Brown; grandchildren; and an aging sister; as well as Protestant Episcopal women in Brazil, England, and elsewhere. A few letters are written in Portuguese. Also included are Brown's memoir of her husband's life, 1932; the commonplace book of Eliza Margaretta (Chew) Mason, ca. 1818; and a travel diary of Mary Cornelia Briscoe (Daniel) Cabell that describes trips to Philadelphia, 1835, and Havana, Cuba, 1835- 1836, undertaken to improve her husband's health.
