Chiefly letters (1865- ; many in French) from Beauregard to Roman concerning Beauregard's military career, justification of his actions, and the preparation and publication of Roman's book, "General Beauregard's Military Operations" (1884). Beauregard's correspondents include Jefferson Davis, William Joseph Hardee, and John Bell Hood.
