Du Pont de Nemours, Pierre Samuel, 1739-1817. Papers, 1757-1836.

Title: Papers, 1757-1836.

The correspondence of Pierre Samuel du Pont de Nemours covers his entire public career - particularly his involvement with the Physiocratic movement in pre-revolutionary France. The letters from Anne-Robert Turgot represent one of the most significant parts of the collection as they relate to Du Pont de Nemours' career as a governmental official prior to the French Revolution. The collection also describes his settlement in the United States and his later diplomatic career after the fall of Napoleon. Included in the letters is the earliest known one sent by Benjamin Franklin, the first American with whom Du Pont de Nemours had any associations. There is also correspondence with Mirabeau, Napoleon, Talleyrand, Vergennes, Voltaire, and Jacques Necker. The letters from Jacques Necker describe economic conditions during the last years of the ancien régime and the process by which Louis XVI formulated the royal budget. There is also an exchange of letters between Thomas Jefferson and Du Pont de Nemours.

Du Pont family. Papers, 1685-1895 1840-1870 (bulk dates).

Title: Papers, 1685-1895 1840-1870 (bulk dates).

The collection contains scrapbooks, a diary, letters, and a few financial papers, related to several members of the du Pont family. The largest group of letters pertain to Ann Ridgely, wife of Charles Irènée du Pont. The letters include condolences to her on the deaths of her father and her husband, a Valentine poem, a record of some of the expenses of her daughter Amy's wedding, letters from her to Charles about setting the date for their wedding, some Ridgely genealogy, letters from a granddaughter at boarding school, and some Ridgely family correspondence. Also included in the collection are letters from Benjamin Franklin and Thomas Jefferson to Pierre Samuel du Pont. Franklin praised du Pont's writing, and Jefferson asked for his help in negotiations with France about Louisiana. Other correspondents include Alexander Hamilton (about the right of foreigners to own land in the U.S.) and James Monroe (glad the du Ponts have settled in the U.S.). The Marquis de Lafayette wrote letters of introduction for James Antoine Bidermann to Bushrod Washington and Thomas Jefferson. Jerome Bonaparte informed the du Ponts of his marriage to Elizabeth Patterson. Photocopies of documents in other collections relate to the building of the Bidermann's house at Winterthur, Delaware. Several scrapbooks and other volumes are found in the collection. Victorine du Pont Bauduy collected poems in her album. Eleuthera du Pont Smith collected drawings and poems from family and friends. The Marquis de Lafayette wrote in her album when he visited the United States in 1824-1825. Two scrapbooks contain pressed flowers. Eleuthera Smith's flower book includes flowers collected for her out west, and also flowers from du Pont weddings. A silhouette of an unidentified woman is laid into the back of Eleuthera's album. The other flower scrapbook may have belonged to Evalina du Pont Bidermann. A brief diary was kept by Henry du Pont in 1842, mainly recording agricultural work. The collection also contains a group of almost 200 receipted bills, most of which were sent to E.I. du Pont. They document purchases of textiles, china, glassware, shoes, jewelry, furniture, and other household goods. As well, there are bills from tailors and dressmakers and one doctor's bill. One bill lists lumber being shipped from Cuba. A few items in the collection have no discernable connection to the du Pont family.
