Abstract:
A family collection including papers of lawyer and U.S. Senator Matthew Hale Carpenter, consisting of letters written to his benefactor, Paul Dillingham of Vermont, while Carpenter was a cadet at West Point, speeches, mementoes, condolence letters, and fragmentary correspondence with political contemporaries. Papers of his son, Paul Dillingham Carpenter, Milwaukee, Wisconsin, deal with his Roman Catholic religious convictions and his political career as a county judge. Other papers of the family consist of a genealogy chart, a diary kept by Matthew's daughter Lillian while a Washington debutante in the 1870s which contains much information on fashions and Reconstruction era social life, and other documentation.
