William Ingraham Kip papers, 1837-1974.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/659509525

This collection contains significant biographical material, because most of it is confidential correspondence with Bishop William Rollinson Whittingham. It includes accounts of Kip's physical sufferings, financial sacrifices for the Church, family affairs, and affairs of the Episcopal Church in California, 1856-1877. There are also comments on Kip's writings, theological beliefs, views on relations with the Church of England and the Roman Catholic Church, developments in the Diocese of Maryland, and the difficulties of Bishop George W. Doane. Several letters concern St. Paul's Church, Albany, N.Y., and other churches in that state, 1837-1853, prior to Kip's election as bishop. The majority relate to the Diocese of California after 1853, business of the Board of Missions, rivalry with Roman Catholics, Civil War troubles in California, clergy matters, and so forth. Kip declines appointment as Bishop of Haiti, 1872, and wishes to become bishop for the Episcopal Churches in Europe, 1874. There are letters concerning his sons, William and Lawrence Kip, and the latter's military service in the Civil War, as well as subsequent correspondence about the Bishop's biography.
