http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/664362405

Most correspondence concerns the years before Wainwright became Provisional Bishop of New York, including early and frank remarks by others on his character and abilities, 1825-1833; a letter of 1830 by Wainwright as a trustee of the New York Protestant Episcopal Press; and mention that Wainwright might become President of Trinity College, Hartford, and Bishop of Connecticut, 1846. Later correspondence with Maryland Bishop William Rollinson Whittingham, includes discussion of relations with the Church of England, especially concerning the Society for Propagation of the Gospel, and Wainwright's intention of visiting England to promote church unity, 1852. Other papers relate to his election and consecration as Bishop, 1852, and his request for advice about feuding churches in Albany, in the same year.
