The volumes to which Bishop Young refers and says he has are not the "Historical Collections" he asks about but rather the "Documentary History of the Protestant Episcopal Church in the United States of America. New York: James Pott, 1864, written by Francis L. Hawks and William S. Perry.

Summary
Enclosing papers he found which he meant to give him at the General Convention; asking "What is Vol. 1 of your Historical Collections? I have two vols on Connecticut by Dr. Hawks and yourself--is that it? I think I subscribed for the series but if any notice was sent to me it never reached me;" asking about the cost and asking that they be sent to him for the archives of the Florida Diocese.
