Papers include a few items on Cobbs's work in Virginia, 1826-1843, and his declination of a call to St. Peter's Church, Baltimore. Other subjects include his support of Bishops William Rollinson Whittingham, Henry U. Onderdonk, and Benjamin T. Onderdonk in their troubles; views on relations with the Church of England; Cobbs's last message to the Diocese of Alabama; and his death at the outbreak of the Civil War, 1861.
