Correspondence, 1836-1867
Scope and Contents
Not microfilmed. No calendar. Includes a letter book (1836-46) containing original drafts and outlines of letters written by Dan Beach Bradley while working under the American Board of Commissioners for Foreign Missions in Siam. Of interest is a letter dated 24 June 1846, which contains Bradley's defense of the doctrine of "sanctification" which led to disagreement among the members of the mission. Also housed here are nine loose letters (1848-67) received after the calendared correspondence. Letters are chronologically arranged. Correspondents include the Rev. George Whipple, Sarah B. Bradley, and Lewis Tappan (1788-1873).
