William Mercer Green papers, 1833-1879.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/657647634

Letters and official documents of Green's episcopate, concerning church affairs in Natchez; organization of the new diocese; and Green's interest in education, including St. Andrew's College, Mississippi, the University of the South, and the Mississippi Episcopal Institute. Correspondence with Bishop William Rollinson Whittingham discusses several clergymen, among them Meyer Lewin, Thomas S. Savage, and Stephen H. Green; also relations with the Church of England; and a pledge that political differences will never separate the two bishops. There is a pastoral letter to the diocese, 1850. Items after the Civil War include a circular about Green's losses in the war and appeal for aid; his prayer in time of pestilence, 1878; and references to his efforts to rebuild the Church in Mississippi.
