Papers of Cora Harris [manuscript], 1900-1911, 1930.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/647833889

In four letters to William Hayes Ward, editor of the "New York Independent," Harris is unwilling to accept his condemnation of the Southern treatment of African Americans. She admits the injustice of the Southern position which she blames on the Civil War and confesses her own inability to apply Ward's standards of ethics. She also gives an account of an alleged diversion of funds intended for pensioned Methodist preachers to the building of publishing houses and assumes Bishop Collins Denny would lie about the incident, a situation she tried to make public in "A circuit rider's wife." In addition she supports Dr. James Kirkland of Vanderbilt University against critics, admires Sidney Lanier and writes of her husband's love of scholarly pursuits. With the letters is a photograph of Harris lecturing to students at Rollins College, 1930 March 2.
