Papers of Clement Clarke Moore [manuscript], 1826-1861.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/647814321

The papers contain five letters in which: Moore declines to serve on the Joint Committee of the General Convention of the Episcopal Church on the Psalms in Metre because he does not believe in changing the Psalms; requests admission of a boy, Henry Gillingham, to Nazareth Hall, an academy in Nazareth, Pennsylvania; declines an invitation from his cousin, President Moore of Columbia College; and declines to be a pallbearer at the funeral of Mr. Erben because of poor health. There is also a document: the deed of sale of a lot in New York City which was sold by Moore and his wife to Obadiah Smith in 1826. Correspondents include John Gottlieb Herman, William Alfred Jones, Nathaniel Fish Moore, Mr. Weld, and William White.
