Papers, 1753-1859.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/207149172

The bulk of this collection of papers consists of correspondence, 1823-1845, to Samuel Larned, most of which was generated while he served as Secretary of the U.S. Legation and Chargé d'Affaires at Santiago, Chile and Lima, Peru from 1823-1837. The correspondence concerns the political, military, economic and maritime affairs of Chile and Peru and their relationship to U.S. foreign policy. Although several of the letters are written in Spanish, most of the correspondence is from American diplomatic colleagues living at various places in South America, including Santiago, Valparaiso and Lima. There is also correspondence pertaining to Larned's financial investments in Chile and Peru as well as correspondence from several family members in Providence. Some of the major correspondents are Heman Allen (1779-1852), Charles Bispham (1798-1882), John Cryder ( - ), John Davidson ( - ), Henry Seymour Fearing (1800-1829), William Henry Folger (1803-1868), John Murray Forbes (1771-1831), Michael Hogan ( - ), Horatio Jerauld ( - ), Samuel Lang ( - ), and William Tudor (1779-1830). The correspondence also includes drafts and copies of official notes and dispatches, 1823-1837, written by Samuel Larned in South America. The collection also includes family correspondence, deeds and other papers, 1753-1839, of John Larned; a ledger, 1823-1827, of Stephen Learned concerning a sawmill business; a ledger, 1826-1829, of Ebenezer Learned concerning the sale and carting of wood, goods and produce; and a diary, 1859, of Elizabeth Rand Learned recording daily activity and the weather.
