Richard Channing Moore papers, 1808-1857.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/662453018

The majority of Bishop Moore's letters are addressed to Bishop James Kemp. Moore declines a call to St. Paul's Parish, Baltimore, 1809; is elected Bishop of Virginia, 1814; gives his views on the dispute over Kemp's election as Suffragan Bishop of Maryland, 1814; details affairs of the diocese and the Virginia Theological Seminary, his theological views, organizational questions, controversy over infant baptism, and family matters. Moore resists division of the Diocese of Virginia and disapproves of dividing other dioceses; he is averse to having more bishops. He performs episcopal services in North Carolina and writes about organization of the Diocese of Delaware. Letters from the Reverend Robert B. Croes, Moore's assistant in Richmond, comment on the bishop's character, qualities, and activities. There are an obituary and other tributes to Moore and letters after his death concerning him.
