Thomas Hubbard Vail papers, 1838-1880.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/664360056

One early letter, of 1838, to the Reverend William Rollinson Whittingham, conveys Vail's donation of ten dollars to the General Theological Seminary -- one per cent of all he has earned during three years in the ministry.The rest of the correspondence with Whittingham is after both men had become bishops, 1864-1878. Subjects include Vail's election and consecration as Bishop, 1864; his Low Church views regarding ritualism, canon law, the rubrics, confession, the Eucharist (especially Vail's pastoral letter on the subject to his Diocese, 1867, and Whittingham's objections thereto), problems of consent to John F. Young's consecration as Bishop of Florida, 1867; opposition to William C. Doane's consecration as Bishop of Albany, 1869; approval of George F. Seymour's election as Bishop of Springfield, 1878, and correspondence with Seymour; unity of the Episcopal Church with the Church of England, and other matters. Also leaflets of 1878, one reprinting Vail's correspondence with the Reverend Alvi Tabor Twing regarding missions in the Diocese of Kansas and affairs of the Diocese, the other reprinting his correspondence with the Reverend George F. Seymour on his election as Bishop, together with Vail's Fourth Triennial Charge to the Church in Kansas, a pamphlet of 1880 on the meaning and proper administration of the Lord's Supper.
