William Eaton (1764-1811) was an American soldier and diplomat who served as the United States Consul to Tunis, and who played a significant role in the Barbary Wars. The four letters date from 1800 to 1807, during Eaton's tenure as Consul to Tunis, and after his return to the United States. Of note is an 1806 letter discussing Eaton's attempt to broker peace in Tripoli through deposed pasha Hamet Caramelli
