Chandler's papers consist mainly of material relating to his unpublished biography of Joel Robert Poinsett (1779-1851) of South Carolina, diplomat, U.S. representative, U.S. Secretary of War, and anti- nullificationist. Included are notes and documents used in its preparation in the 1930s; Chandler's correspondence with Miss Emma A. Bull, researcher in Charleston, S.C., Professor Edwin Judson Pratt, author of the chapters on Poinsett's activities as first U.S. minister in Mexico, 1825-1830, and other scholars and miscellaneous correspondents, 1918-1961; and twenty-six collected manuscript letters to and from Poinsett and extensive copies of Poinsett papers, 1803-1852 located elsewhere. There are also letters to and about Chandler while he was serving the U.S. government in Europe, Asia, and South America, 1906-1913, and in Latin American again in the 1940s; speeches and articles; line-a-day personal diaries, 1904-1911; thirty-nine pocket memorandum books; and three scrapbooks on Latin American topics, 1909-1919 and 1943-1944, especially concerned with U.S.-Brazilian commerce during the 19th century.
