NRS-950 | Copies of letters to clergy etc.

Full description

Copies of letters to clergy or church representatives of all denominations, particularly the Archdeacon and, later, the Bishop of Australia, and until 24 January 1828 to the Church and School Corporation.

They mostly concern the administration of church affairs and, particularly in the earlier years, schools which were then under church control. They vary in detail from correspondence on grants for church sites and repairs for schools to a reproof for marrying convicts without authority from the Governor. Many of the letters are in reply to representations made by ministers on behalf of members of their flock on any matter in which the intervention of the Governor was desired.
