Collection Overview
| Size | 10.0 feet of linear shelf space (approximately 6700 items) |
| Abstract | Cornelia Phillips Spencer, writer and community leader of Chapel Hill, N.C., was the daughter of University of North Carolina mathematics professor James Phillips (1792-1867) and Judith Vermeule Phillips (1796-1881), wife of lawyer James Monroe Spencer (1827-1861), and mother of Julia Spencer Love (b. 1859), who married Harvard University mathematician James Lee Love (1860-1950). The collection includes correspondence, writings, pictures, and other materials relating to Cornelia Phillips Spencer and her family. Much of the material for the period 1866-1883 concerns Chapel Hill friends and neighbors and the effect of Reconstruction on the University of North Carolina. Included are a few letters to Cornelia from her father, 1856-1863, and from North Carolina Governor Zebulon Baird Vance, 1865-1872. From April to October 1884, there are many letters to Cornelia from her daughter Julia, who was traveling and studying in England and Germany. Over one-third of the correspondence consists of letters between Cornelia in Chapel Hill and Julia in Cambridge, Mass., 1890-1894. Letters concern personal and public aspects of life in both college towns, the pregnancy and stillbirth experienced by Julia in March 1891, the lives of faculty members at the University of North Carolina and at Harvard, and domestic affairs of the North Carolina and Massachusetts branches of the family. Writings include many songs, poems, articles, and memorials by Cornelia. Volumes include Cornelia's diaries, 1853-1908, and her scrapbooks, some of which contain writings by Cornelia. There are also many volumes of James Phillips's lecture notes. Pictures are chiefly of family members. Also included are typed transcriptions of most of the correspondence, as well as transcriptions of letters, writings, and other materials of Cornelia from published and manuscript sources, many of which were produced in conjunction with Louis Round Wilson's editing of Cornelia's papers for publication. |

Biographical Information
Cornelia Ann Phillips was born 20 March 1825 in Harlem, N.Y., the daughter of James Phillips (1792-1867) and Judith Vermeule Phillips (1796-1881). Her mother, Judith Vermeule, was a member of an old Dutch family that hailed from the Raritan Valley of New Jersey. James Phillips, an Englishman who migrated to America in 1815, moved his family to Chapel Hill, N.C. in 1826, when he became professor of mathematics at the University of North Carolina, where he taught until his death in 1867. Cornelia was the youngest of three children. Brother Charles Phillips became professor of mathematics and engineering at the University of North Carolina, and Samuel Field Phillips was the United States solicitor general under President Ulysses S. Grant.
Cornelia grew up in Chapel Hill, and was educated in Latin, Greek, French, and all forms of literature (of which she was especially fond), as well as music, drawing, and needlework.
On 20 June 1855, Cornelia Phillips married James Monroe ("Magnus") Spencer (1827-1861), a lawyer and alumnus of the University of North Carolina class of 1853. In 1859, four years after the couple had settled in Clinton, Ala., Cornelia gave birth to a daughter, Julia ("June") James Spencer.
In June 1861, James Monroe Spencer died after a long illness. Several months later, Cornelia Phillips Spencer yielded to her father's pleas to return to Chapel Hill. Here, shortly after the Civil War, she began to make her mark as a writer. In 1866, at the encouragement of her friend, former Governor David Lowry Swain (1801-1868), she published her first work, The Last Ninety Days of the War. In 1869, she wrote Pen and Ink Sketches of the University of North Carolina, and, from 1870 to 1876, wrote a weekly "Young Ladies' Column" for The Presbyterian. Her frequent articles and letters to editors and state leaders played an important role in the reopening of the University of North Carolina in 1875, and in campaigns for other causes such as the founding of the University Normal School.
In 1894, Cornelia Phillips Spencer moved to Cambridge, Mass., to live with her daughter June, whose husband, James Lee Love (1860-1950), was a professor of mathematics at Harvard. One year later she was awarded an honorary degree by the University of North Carolina, the first such degree given to a woman by the University.
Cornelia Phillips Spencer died on 11 March 1908 in Cambridge.

Series 1. Correspondence, 1839-1919, 1924, 1926, 1975, and undated.
Arrangement: chronological.
Chiefly personal and family letters to and from Cornelia Phillips Spencer, concerning a variety of topics. Much of the correspondence is with Spencer's daughter June and her sister-in-law, Laura Battle Phillips (Mrs. Charles Phillips). Much of the earlier material (1866-1883) concerns friends and neighbors in Chapel Hill and the turbulent affairs of the University of North Carolina during Reconstruction.
From April to October 1884, there are letters to her mother from June Spencer, who was travelling and studying in England and Germany. See Series 3. Writings and Series 5. Typescripts for typescripts of these letters as published in The Presbyterian.
Over one-third of the correspondence is dated 1890-1894, and consists of letters between June Spencer Love, in Cambridge, Mass., and Cornelia Spencer. The letters concern various aspects of life in Chapel Hill and Cambridge: activities of friends and relatives, the pregnancy and stillbirth experienced by June in March 1891, faculty members of the University of North Carolina and Harvard, and the domestic affairs of both families.
Much of the rest of the correspondence consists of routine family and personal letters, many of which were written by Cornelia Phillips Spencer to Laura and Charles Phillips. Other items include letters from Robert Lamar Beall (d. 1891), 1866-1867, and from Edward Joseph Hale (1839-1922), 1866. Charles Force Deems (1820-1893) wrote several letters to Spencer in 1866 concerning her book, The Last Ninety Days of the War. Spencer's father, James Phillips (1792-1867), wrote a few letters to his daughter, 1856-1863, and there are also letters from North Carolina Governor Zebulon Baird Vance (1830-1894), 1865-1872.
There are also a few letters not involving Spencer--a brief correspondence between James Phillips and Reverend Alexander Wilson, 1839-1844, and an exchange of letters (apparently contemporary copies) between Z. B. Vance and William T. Sherman, discussing the surrender of the city of Raleigh.

1895-1899Includes a letter (and transcript), 14 February 1899, from Cornelia Phillips Spencer in Cambridge, Mass., to Cinderella Shepard in Eatontown, N.J. Cinderella Shepard was a Black woman who had previously worked for Cornelia Phillips Spencer and Mrs. Davis in Chapel Hill, N.C. The letter implies that Spencer and Shepard had not been in contact for several years and shares news, or lack thereof, of both Black and white people in Chapel Hill that they knew in common, including Beck Mason (a maid for the people living in the Love house), "Dilsey," Caroline Jones, Simon Battle, Thomas Dunstan (the college barber), Roman Jones, Charles Snipes, and Rilla Strowd, among others. Alice Neal, the niece of Cinderella Shepard, the cook of Frank Porter Graham, and the donor of this letter, is also mentioned. (NOTE: This item has not been microfilmed) |

Arrangement: by type.
Chiefly journals and personal writings of Cornelia Phillips Spencer and lecture notes of James Phillips, professor of mathematics at the University of North Carolina.
Nine volumes consist partly or entirely of journal entries, 1853-1908. Entries were made almost daily for some periods, notably 1882-1907, and much less frequently for others. Few entries are longer than one page. Subjects are chiefly Spencer's daily activities and her commentary on them. Literary quotations and citations are frequent.
There are several scrapbooks which contain miscellaneous collected published writings, some of which were written by Spencer.
Volume 81 is actually a bibliographical card index of published (and a few unpublished) writings by Spencer. This index probably is not exhaustive. It was prepared in conjunction with James Lee Love's typing project (see Series 7. Typed Copies).

Series 9. Pictures, 1850-1918.
Chiefly photographs of Cornelia Phillips Spencer and her relatives, including her parents, her daughter, and her grandchildren, James Spencer Love and Cornelia Spencer Love. There are also pictures of friends and acquaintances, mostly cartes-de-visite. Special format photographs, such as daguerreotypes and ambrotypes, are designated (SF).
There are also several floral and foliage paintings done from life by Spencer.
Also included (and numbered and filed separately) are photographs from a dismantled photograph album. This album, consisting of about 100 images, has been dismantled in order to prevent further deterioration of the photographs due to water damage. The images have been kept in the exact order in which they were placed in the album and numbered accordingly; i.e., the images 1a-1b appeared on page 1 of the album and so forth.
