Stark) /Subject (Papers of three related families: the Johnson and Gibbs families of New Haven, Connecticut, and the Van Cleve family of New Jersey. The principal figure is Ebenezer Alfred Johnson, professor of Greek and Latin Literature at the University of the City of New York \(1839-1891\). His papers consist of personal and professional correspondence and a small amount of printed matter and records relating to the University of the City of New York. Included in his personal correspondence are letters from Josiah W. Gibbs, his nephew, a lengthy series of courtship letters with Margaret Fox Van Cleve, whom he married in 1842, and additional letters on the birth of their children \(1843-1849\). Two friends who figure in the personal correspondence are Thomas A. Thacher and Louis Janin. Among his notable professional correspondents are: Ethan Allen Andrews, Theodore Frelinghuysen, Isaac Ferris, Elias Loomis, Taylor Lewis, and George S. Parker. On matters concerning Yale University, he corresponded with George E. Day, Edward C. Herrick, and James Luce Kingsley. The major part of the collection is made up of correspondence among various branches of the family and contains the letters of Johnson's two wives and his children with intimate details of family life and relationships in the 19th century. Three members of the family who travelled to Europe \(1866-1869\) recorded their impressions in family letters. There is also a series of letters from Europe \(1877-1879\) by Alfred V. C. Johnson.) /Keywords (Manuscripts and Archives, MS 1246) /Creator (Apache FOP 2.6) /Producer (Apache FOP Version 2.6) /CreationDate (D:20240329030029-04'00') >> endobj 2 0 obj << /N 3 /Length 3 0 R /Filter /FlateDecode >> stream xgPTY{ MI$$A@wiAQdpFI AFQŀ((N#2"**K٭U[gxsOs[1M:1C H( JN !c sϑ>qyvy%. ʱlN2kwr4;- 8=%1 {iW-o!o\Vk ZkL0+ tj +|iA/o3`?(Of+yS/T7orL@ʿr` QWN = t8@W) Xo9 Ȁ
