Greene, Rowland

The commonplace book of Rowland Greene includes religious extracts, religious reflections, a memorandum of James Greene, and discussion of various topics, including money, parenting, prayer, and poverty.

This collection is comprised of the single letterbook of Dr. Rowland Greene, a Quaker minister from Rhode Island. The volume contains personal correspondence; the majority of letters are addressed to Greene's wife and children while he was away from home on religious visits. Topics covered in Greene's correspondence include descriptions of his travels, meetings he attended, social calls made, and family news.

Rowland Greene's memoir describes Greene's early life, his conversion to Quakerism, and his subsequent travel on religious visits to Quaker meetings throughout the eastern United States.
