The style is my own the material was furnished on the Border. The scenes through which I passed were in some respects supremely ridiculous and must be laughable; there were others which were inhuman and must therefore excite horror.

1834WRCAM48343Hillsborough N.C. 1834. 4pp. Folio. Old folds. Minor soiling. Highly legible. Very good plus. A long letter concerning the advancement and coordination of domestic Presbyterian missions in the southern states. McDowell speaks of his travels through Petersburg Norfolk and Baltimore apparently on a journey to meet with church officials and promote and organize the missionary work of the various churches: "I was detained at Petersburg. and met with Mr. Plumer a plan was arranged for the Presbyteries in Virginia - and letters were written to several of the brethren - Mr. Plumer manifested a deep interest in our cause and has promised to do all he can for us." McDowell also writes of personnel changes in the church: "Brother Brown and Brother Kollock will both be at the meeting.the prospect of a union with our board I think is good and if that Presbytery comes in it will do much towards bringing all Virginia into close union with us. Brother Plumer expects to remove to Richmond.in the last Richmond TELEGRAPH you will find a rather interesting account of Mr. Brown's parting with his people." <br> <br> The writer Rev. William A. McDowell was Secretary of the Board of Home Missions for seventeen years as well as the first pastor of the Presbyterian Church at Bound Brook N.J. and later at the First Church in Morristown N.J. From 1823 to 1833 he was pastor at the Third Church at Charleston S.C. He was also a trustee of Princeton College. The "Mr. Plumer" her refers to in the letter was William Swan Plumer 1802-80 a Presbyterian minister who served in Petersburg Richmond Baltimore Allegheny and Pottsville Pa. He was likewise and author and a professor in the Seminary in Columbia S.C. from 1862 to 1880. <br> <br> Dr. Alexander W. Mitchell the letter's recipient had an involvement with the United Presbyterian Church which was formed by the union of the Presbyterian Church in the United States of America often referred to mostly by Southerners as the "Northern" Presbyterian Church with the United Presbyterian Church of North America a smaller church of Covenanter-Seceder tradition. unknown books
1846List2863New Orleans Louisiana 1846. Single letter three 8 x 10 inch pages. Torn at folds some tears repaired with archival tape; hole at location of seal; otherwise very good to excellent. John Holt Rice 1818–1878 was the son of a Presbyterian minister and nephew of Archibald Alexander founding professor of the Princeton Theological Seminary from which Rice graduated in 1845. When he wrote this letter he was working as a city missionary to the poor in New Orleans. Rice would spend his career ministering around the southern United States before his death from yellow fever. His correspondent is John Cameron Lowrie 1808–1900 a Scottish immigrant fellow Princeton graduate and a missionary in Colonial India. When his health became too precarious to remain abroad Lowrie returned to serve with the Board of Foreign Missions.<br /> <br /> The subject of missions boards was part of the Old School-New School controversy and schism in the Presbyterian Church particularly over whether missionary work should be primary the Old School view or secondary the New School view to the Church’s work.1 Those holding the latter view were satisfied with the work of the American Board of Commissioners for Foreign Missions ABCFM which was not a specifically Presbyterian body. Those of the former view believing that the Church’s missionary board ought to be itself Presbyterian formed the Western Foreign Missionary Society. When the Church’s second schism occurred in 1837 the Western society was <br /> renamed the Board of Foreign Missions BFM and headquartered in New York City.<br /> <br /> In this letter Rev. Rice finds himself in the delicate position of being an Old School supporter of the BFM ministering to Congregationalists and New School-raised supporters of the ABCFM. He writes to Rev. Lowrie requesting that copies of the BFM’s monthly Missionary Chronicle be sent to him in a timely manner as this was “a matter of some importance to us who love our own board of foreign missionsâ€:<br /> <br /> “You are probably aware that our churches in this city are composed of very heterogeneous materials many of the members are from New England and were brought up in the congregational church and many were connected with New School churches at the north. This causes no difficulty or division All unite very cordially in support of the Old School church but the sympathies of many are with the American Board of Missions. They know nothing about ours and have some little prejudice against us for our separation. It would be very impudent to argue that question with them now or attempt to convince them that our own board ought to be patronised by those connected with one of our churches rather than the American. But I feel certain that if they knew more of our operations they would take an interest in them.â€<br /> <br /> Rice also notes that he is an editor for the New Orleans Protestant newspaper and suggests that Lowrie send “something now and then†to excite “missionary zealâ€. Of interest to scholars of Presbyterian history especially the 19th-century Old School-New School schism.<br /> <br /> 1 Rev.
