This small collection comprises two volumes (CLS/127 & CLS/128), with indices, of copies of the most important US-related correspondence; both received [i.e. those read before the Society] and sent.

The second letter, and most thereafter, are from Alfred Willis, Bishop of Honolulu, spanning the annexation of Hawaii by the USA in July 1898, and ending on 21 March 1910 with a letter from Professor Richard H. Thorntory, regarding the transfer of "certain funds held by your Society in trust for the Church in Hawaii, now an integral part of the American Church."

Papers of the Carolina Court of Vice Admiralty document the official proceedings of the cases brought before the court. Vice-Admiralty courts were established in the major seaports of the American colonies in the 1600s to deal with matters of maritime law. The Admiralty Courts had jurisdiction over such matters as the taking of prizes, shipwrecks, salvage, insurance, freight and passenger contracts, bottomry, charter parties, and seamen's wages, and enforced it the Acts of Trade. From 1716 to 1732, the Carolina Court of Vice Admiralty met in Charles Town (Charleston), with Nicholas Trott, Esq., as presiding judge for much of that period. At this time, North Carolina and Georgia had not been established as separate entities.

2 reel(s)
With the overthrow of proprietary authority in the colony in 1719, South Carolina entered a crucial period in her history. The confusion set off by the revolution of 1719 prevailed until royal control was established by Governor Robert Johnson after 1730. In 1721, the office of the public receiver (who had managed the finances of the province for fourteen years) was abolished and his duties transferred to several new officers, all responsible to the assembly. Of these, the public treasurer was the most important. All the known surviving records of this officer for the colonial period are issued in this microfilm edition. Taken together, the journals and ledgers reflect the growth of the sources of income and the government role as the colonial population, area of settlement, and the economy expanded.

During the summer of 1775, the Provincial Congress began to take up the reins of government in South Carolina. By the end of September, in the absence of both governor and assembly, this informal body was effectively in control of the colony. On April 6, 1776, the new General Assembly finally removed the treasurers from office, appointed a commission to receive their accounts, and transferred their funds to the three treasury commissioners. As the expenses of the Revolution increased and the problems of supplying the new government grew, the Treasury's duties were progressively increased. Apart from issuing currency, the commissioners were responsible for collecting taxes, giving loans, and keeping the accounts of every new division of government. These records are of three types: cashbooks, journals, and ledgers.
