Papers, 1820-1897.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/86094025

The papers include correspondence, both incoming (1841-1861) and outgoing (1824-1864). The incoming correspondence covers several topics, including the engagement of her eldest daughter, Victorine du Pont Kemble, and debts owed to her late husband's estate. The most interesting outgoing letter was written to her stepmother, Anna Lammot, written shortly after her marriage to Alfred du Pont describing her new life as a wife. Other papers include: copy book, 1820; receipts, 1853, 1856, 1858; probate records of Alfred V. du Pont, 1856; and cancelled checks, 1860s.
