John Henry Hobart papers, 1805-1975.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/658042138

The papers associated with Bishop Hobart have much material on the affairs of the Episcopal Church in New York State, in Maryland, and in many parts of the country. They include considerable private and confidential correspondence with James Kemp, both as a rector in Dorchester County and in Baltimore, and as Bishop of Maryland. Many letters deal with opposition to Kemp's consecration as Suffragan Bishop. Other principal correspondents are the Reverend William Rollinson Whittingham, before he became Bishop, and the Reverend Joseph Jackson, of Maryland. The subjects of this correspondence are innumerable. They include Hobart's visits to Maryland, 1806, and England, 1824; affairs of The Churchman's Magazine and other religious periodicals; theological questions; episcopacy and the authority of bishops; churchmanship; interdenominational controversies; business of the General Conventions and of the Diocese of New York; clergy matters; relations with the Church of England; affairs of the General Theological Seminary and difficulties with Bishop Thomas C. Brownell concerning it; comments on the character and activities of Bishops William White and Philander Chase, and on many other bishops and clergymen. Hobart shows great interest in Whittingham's career and high regard for him. There are many references to Hobart in the letters of other persons, comments on some of his sermons, obituary tributes, and later materials concerning his episcopate.
