Correpsondence, 1800-1873
Scope and Contents
The correspondence (largely incoming) of Dan Beach Bradley is accompanied by a calendar and index prepared in 1972 by Archivist William E. Bigglestone. The calendar is based upon information gathered during the late 1960s by Emeritus Librarian Julian Fowler. The correspondence is chronologically arranged. Correspondents include Judge Dan Bradley of Marcellus, New York, Emilie R. Bradley, Sarah B. Bradley, Dr. L.B. Lane, General Agent for the mission in Bangkok, Professor Josiah Silsby, and the Rev. George Whipple (1805-76), Corresponding Secretary for the Foreign Department of the American Missionary Association. Subjects covered in the letters include the voyages to Siam, the lives of missionaries; and overall conditions of the mission. Letters are too fragile to handle and must be read on microfilm or in digital form on DVD.
