The collection includes family, political, and military correspondence of Robert Treat Paine. The bulk of the papers date from 1830-1858 with the greatest concentration in the Mexican War period. Earlier papers include letters to Paine's wife while he was attending the North Carolina General Assembly. Mexican War papers include letters home and military and political correspondence. A smaller amount of papers relate to the postwar Mexican Claims Commission, Paine's term as an American Party congressman, the sale and gifting of slaves, and, after 1860, to agricultural affairs of Paine and his son-in-law, William Thompson, in Texas.
