William Foster, Junior, 1777-1863, was the eldest son of William Foster, 1746-1821, merchant of Boston and his wife Grace Spear Foster, 1751-1816. His father sent him to Cadiz, Spain at the age of fourteen to study languages and learn business methods. In 1794, he went to France, married Marie Hortense Perron, 1779-1838, the daughter of a French merchant and settled in Normandy. In 1809, he returned to Boston with his wife and two daughters, Melite, born 1796 and Virginia, born 1797. Melite, who never married, died of some lingering disease in 1843. Virginia married James E. Coppinger and lived in France until her death in 1884. The Fosters had a third daughter, Fanny, born 1813, who married in 1844 Henry James Tudor (see Mss 29), brother of Frederic Tudor, the "Ice King."

Consist chiefly of diaries, kept from 1857 until just before his death in 1915. They record few personal feelings, but are a meticulous account of the weather, personal expenses and charities. Most of the letters are from the period of his Grand Tour in Europe (1854-1856). They include some sent to him by his father. There are also a few letters by Francis from other periods of his life and material on his Harvard career. At the end of the collection is a group of photographs of Foster, his wife and children.

Collection contains letters sent between William Foster Jr. and William's father, siblings and their spouses, neices and nephews, and children. Correspondents include brother-in-law Harrison Gray Otis, Andrew Ritchie, daughter and son-in-law James E. and Virginia (Foster) Coppinger, daughter Jeanne Francoise "Fanny" (Foster) Tudor, brother Leonard Foster, sisters Grace (Foster) Apthorp and Mary (Foster) Apthorp, and Nathan Spear Jr. William also received personal letters from friends in Cadiz, Spain and his wife's relatives in France. The political correspondence includes letters and treatises written for publication in newspapers and pamphlets as well as copies of letters sent to prominent political figures by William Foster Jr and their replies. William wrote to all the leading figures of the day, especially Anti-Masons and Democrats. Correspondents include John Quincy Adams, John A. Andrew, Thomas Hart Benton, Lewis Cass, Caleb Cushing, James C. Dobbin, Alexander Hill Everett, Edward Everett, Levi Lincoln, Marcus Morton, Franklin Pierce, John Randolph, Charles Sumner, John P. Van Ness, Daniel Webster, and Silas Wright. William's many schemes for public improvement led him to correspond with Peter Cooper and with men involved in forming the Smithsonian Institution. There are legal documents, both in English and French, membership certificates and some brief reminiscences relating to William Foster Jr. The collection also includes letters written by Harrison G. and Sally (Foster) Otis, Grace Jeanne Melite Foster, Virginia (Foster) Coppinger, William Leonard Foster, Charles Chauncy Foster, Francis Charles Foster, and William Leonard Foster to various family members besides William Foster Jr. There are papers concerning the family real estate holdings, held in common, that centered on Spear's Wharf (North End) and Foster's Wharf (foot of Fort Hill). The Fosters also had interest in land on Fort Hill and the South Cove areas of Boston. The material includes ledgers from scattered years concerning Foster's Wharf receipts, and a great deal on various municipal land takings for improving markets and widening streets. There are plot plans and maps for areas of Boston in which the Fosters had an interest. In addition to the correspondence, the collection contains ten scattered years of William Foster Sr's diary, patents by Leonard Foster, portrait miniatures, and photographs including daguerreotypes and ambrotypes.
