Papers, 1854-1893 (bulk 1877-1892).

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/84680031

Correspondence concerning spiritualism and more specifically the workings and content of the Religio-Philosophical Journal. The most significant groups of correspondence are letters from Horace Howard Furness during his chairmanship of the University of Pennsylvania's Seybert Commission for Investigating Modern Spiritualism; letters from the author, editor, and spiritualist Epes Sargent; and copies of Bundy's letters to M. C. C. Church of Parkersburg, West Virginia, who wrote columns and reviews for the journal. Among the subjects of Bundy's letters to Church are Madame Blavatsky and Thomas Lake Harris. The collection also includes single letters to or from Harris, M. L. Holbrook, William James, and William Quan Judge. A very small miscellaneous series includes a memorial pamphlet for Bundy and some articles by other authors concerning spiritualism. The miscellaneous series also includes a copy of an issue of the spiritualist newspaper The Two Worlds, pages uncut, stored in an oversize folder in a map drawer.
