Du Pont, Samuel Francis, 1803-1865. Papers, 1812-1865.

Title: Papers, 1812-1865.

The Samuel Francis Du Pont Papers include correspondence with more than 1,500 individuals. There is a good deal of official and semi-official correspondence describing naval practices and policies as well as Du Pont's career. Of particular interest are letters from British diplomats and naval officers during the 1840s and 50s describing the operations of the British Navy. Letters received from William B. Reed, American minister to China, document the negotiations leading up to the Treaty of Tientsin which opened up China to western trade. Letters from American missionaries Samuel Wells and William and Edward Syle describe the missionary movement in China and efforts to eradicate the opium trade. The files also contain correspondence reflecting Du Pont's role in the Naval Efficiency Board and the reform movement which sought to modernize the navy as it moved into the age of steam.

Du Pont, Sophie Madeleine, 1810-1888. Papers, 1818-1892.

Title: Papers, 1818-1892.

Sophie Du Pont's voluminous correspondence contains more than 20,000 letters to family and friends. More than 1,000 of these are to her husband, Admiral Samuel Francis Du Pont, and they were written while he was on extended sea duty in the Far East, Mediterranean, or on the Atlantic blockade. The letters describe Sophie Du Pont's domestic life at Louviers and contain observations about the social, cultural, and political events of the period in which she lived. These letters show that Sophie Du Pont had a certain ambivalence about the role of women in society as she consciously struggled to balance her intellectual interest which her domestic obligations particularly during her husband's long absences.
