http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/32452407

Six letters and five diary volumes of Elias Cornelius. The six letters are photocopies of originals in the Connecticut Historical Society library. The five volumes are only a portion of the diary that Cornelius kept, and chiefly concern his travels in 1817-1818 throughout the South as an agent for the promotion of mission schools for Native Americans, particularly Cherokees, Chickashas, and Choctaws. Other topics in the diary include Presbyterian church life, preaching in Presbyterian churches, and slavery in the South.
