Paul L. De Clouet served in the Confederate army in Virgina and West Virginia. His father was Alexander De Clouet (fl. 1832) of Louisiana, a Confederate congressman. The collection includes scattered family correspondence of the De Clouet family of St. Martinville, La., including a letter, 1830, from Madame De Clouet in Paris, France, concerning the European political situation; two letters, 1832, from Alexander De Clouet, then a student in Paris, to his grandfather about his plans for studies; and three letters, 1861, from Alexander, serving in the Confederate Congress, to his son Paul L. De Clouet, serving in the Confederate army, concerning family and military matters; There are also a few items concerning Charlottesville, Va., and the University of Virginia, circa 1860-1861; and a contract with laborers, 1869, presumably from St. Martinville.
