Papers, 1856-1936.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/58775886

Papers, 1856-1936, consisting mainly of correspondence and drafts of Stimson's sermons and articles, but including some other material, such as clippings and printed ephemera. In addition to large quantities of Stimson's own letters, there are extensive series of letters from his wife, Alice Bartlett Stimson, and his mother, Julia Maria Atterbury Stimson. There are also letters from other members of the Stimson, Atterbury and Bartlett families, letters from unrelated people, both well-known and obscure, and letters of condolence received by the family at Stimson's death. Some letters and printed materials relate to churches of which Stimson was minister: Plymouth Church, Minneapolis, Union Congregational Church, Worcester (Mass.), and Broadway Tabernacle and Manhattan Congregational Church, both in New York City. One folder of letters, a journal, and some printed ephemera describes a journey by wagon train from Salina (Kan.) to Colorado, which Stimson made in 1867, in company with W.E. Chandler, Assistant Secretary of the Treasury. An appraisal and inventory of the Stimsons' household furniture and personal belongings dates from 1923. There are also drafts of articles and speeches by Alice Bartlett Stimson, dealing with cultural and social issues, and material related to the Morning Choral Club in St. Louis and the Sorosis Club in New York City.
