- Scope and content:
-
The Correspondence Subseries, 1870-1933,is arranged chronologically to the item level. The bulk of Stirewalt's correspondence spans from 1870-1900.There is a gap in the continuity of this subseries after1902,with no letters from1903to1911and very few letters from1911to1933.The letters are primarily correspondence with other ministers concerning administrative activities of the Tennessee Synod of the Evangelical Lutheran Church. Many of the letters seem to refer to the solicitation of funds for special projects being undertaken by the Synod and to financial compensations being provided by the Synod to member ministers. The collection also includes some personal correspondence, business correspondence not related to the activities of the Tennessee Synod, and several drafts of letters written by Stirewalt between1911and1912.Also included is a small amount of correspondence received by William J. Stirewalt.
