http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/659740653

Correspondence by and about Bishop Littlejohn, chiefly with Bishop William Rollinson Whittingham. Early papers include Littlejohn's reasons for declining a call to St. Paul's Parish, Baltimore, 1855; his work in St. Paul's Church, New Haven, Conn.; his support for the Freedmans' Commission, 1865; and election as Bishop of the newly-created Diocese of Long Island, 1863. Among many subjects are Littlejohn's veneration for Whittingham and what he learned from Whittingham; affairs of the General Theological Seminary in New York City; powers of the House of Bishops; the ordination of women as deaconesses; and many clergy matters of the Diocese of Long Island. There are also materials on relations with the Church of England, including a reply to a communication from the Bishop of Winchester, 1871, and Littlejohn's opinion of Archibald Campell Tait, Archbishop of Canterbury, 1876; relations with the Orthodox Churches; and the work of the Mexican Commission of the House of Bishops in the 1870s.
