BIOGRAPHICAL STATEMENT
The
Cazenove family dates back to the 15th century in the South of France. Family members were Huguenots who sought
refuge in
At the
beginning of each series section, there is a more in-depth biographical note
about the people who appear in each series.
Additional
genealogical information is filed with the finding aid at this repository.
SCOPE AND CONTENT
The
collection consists of letters, photographs, marriage records, business papers,
medical prescriptions, and other documents, mostly relating to family history
and genealogy. The bulk of material is
from the 19th century and offers evidence of an upper class lifestyle,
particularly in Virginia and Washington, D.C. Families represented include the
Cazenoves, Lees, du Ponts, Hendersons, and Gardners.
Some of
the 18th century materials pertain to the Cazenove family of
Switzerland, and much of it pre-dates the emigration of Cazenoves to the United
States. Other 18th century
material relates to the Steptoe, Turberville, and other families in
Virginia. Correspondence between Anne
Eliza Gardner Lee and Sophie Madeleine du Pont dates between 1846 and
1878. Scrapbooks and albums from the
Gardner family contain genealogical information and poems. Cazenove Gardner Lee and his fiancée Marguerite
Lammont du Pont were separated during most of their courtship and engagement
while she toured Europe, but they wrote each other often, and their letters
form a significant portion of the collection.
Family
photographs are from the Cazenove, Gardner, Lee, du Pont, and related
families. Of particular interest are the
photo of Philippa Lee in her coffin and several wedding photographs. Fortunately, most of the photographs are
identified.
At the
beginning of each series section, there is a more in-depth scope and content
note about the material found in each series.
Material pertaining to the same person may be found in more than one
series.
SERIES
The
collection has been divided into seven series:
1. Early Cazenove family documents.
2. Commercial and legal documents
and letters from the papers of Cazenove G. Lee, Jr.

F. du Pont Correspondence, and additional Mrs. du Pont correspondence.
6. Cazenove G. Lee--Marguerite

This series features over two
hundred photographs of members of the Cazenove and related families, most of
whom are represented in other parts of the collection. For the early generations, the photographs

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE
COLLECTION
Location: 34 L 2-5
and Map Case 3, Drawer 1
Series 1: Early Cazenove family documents (71x69)
Biographical statement:
Papers in
this series relate to descendants of Cazenove family members who migrated from
France to Switzerland at the end of the sixteenth century to escape religious
persecution. (Later family members migrated to the United
States.) Jean Cazenove was baptized in
Geneva on April 10, 1698. He grew up and
remained in the city, marrying Elizabeth Bessonnet on
At
an early age and with the encouragement of his mentor, a M. Claviere, Paul left
(In his
time, Voltaire had been a frequent house guest at "Montbrillant." After the Cazenove's years at
"Montbrillant," it became the residence of the Odiers family, who
remained there until 1875. The last
known owner, in 1969, was Paul Mercier.
By that time the house was located at 2 rue Vidollet.)
Scope and content:
The series consists of letters,
marriage contracts and certificates, wills, business contracts, documents, and
other miscellaneous papers that record the activities of the Cazenove family in
Switzerland, The Netherlands, England, and France from 1693 to 1801. Thirty-five letters were written by
Elizabeth Bessonnet Cazenove to her son Paul.
An English
summary of each of these letters is included as part of the finding aid.
[note: all accession numbers in
this series begin with 71x69]
Folders 1-5: .1-.35 Letters from Elizabeth Bessonnet Cazenove to
her son Paul Cazenove, 1757-1784.
(summary of letters is below)
71x69.1 To: Paul Cazenove, Lyon, October 1757.
"Hello,
my dear son, how are you, have you taken good care of your foot, by now you
have arrived in Lyon, I hope in good health ..." Hoping that Mr. Grassot
will care for him, asking what he thinks of the big world and suggesting to
take a carriage to see the city. Telling him to be happy, polite, courageous
and not moody, kind and obliging to Mr. Claviere and a good boy. Waiting to
hear from him once he has arrived in
Signed: Veuve Cazenove.
71x69.2 To: Paul Cazenove, Paris, October 21,
1757.
"Well,
my dear son, there you are in Paris, a visit to striking wonders, you will have
time only to open your eyes wide and be filled with admiration but the thought
of returning will give you a special pleasure ..."
Thanking
him for his letter written from Lyon, wishing he would write less laconic to
his mother who loves him dearly and is always ready to forgive all of his
weaknesses. Inquiring about the condition of his foot "I hope that this
short trip will teach you even more to become fearless while seeing the world,
that you will learn good manners, pleasant attitude when in company, it is not
enough to display politeness in your heart, it has to disclose itself in every
aspect of your behavior ... when entering the world it becomes necessary to
make a good first impression since it is difficult to wipe out a bad one ...
enjoy yourself, don't be troublesome in the company, write to me, my regards to
Mr. Claviere, stay healthy, be good ..."
Signed: October 21, 1757. Veuve Cazenove,
counter-signed: Anete [?]
71x69.3 To: Paul Cazenove, l’Orient [probably
Lorient, Brittany], November 5, 1757.
"I
am angry, my dear son, that I have to imagine you are bored because you date
your letter of two weeks - afterwards - or is it only pride or pretention to
look like a grown up ..."
Writing
about her son's trip to Orient by way of Lyon - Paris, and wishing for more
details, hoping for his safe arrival there "and you say nothing about
Paris, how did you like it, and all the people who crowded the streets, La
Comedie, I did like it very much, nothing about your impressions of the
beautiful people gathered there, about the orchestra, nothing about THE
DUMENILLE (Dumesnille, Marie Francoise Marchand, 1711-1803, French tragedienne),
- the wonder of Paris - do what Mr. Claviere tells you to do, you are too young
to rule the business all by yourself, help as much as you can, enjoy yourself,
see the world with understanding and modesty so that no one can say that you
are pretentious, young people's modesty is becoming, take advantage of what you
hear and see ... look after yourself and your linen, do not use the livery
carriage too frequently - it is too expensive for a young man ... write to me,
I will always be your loving mother, adieu, I embrace you with all my heart.
Signed: at Monbril[lant] November 5,
1757. Veuve Cazenove.
71x69.4 To: Paul Cazenove, November 18, 1757.
"I
received your letter, my dear son, of the fourth of November, and I am
delighted to know that your voyage was a pleasant one ... the sale will take
time, that doesn't please me because it will prolong your stay ... but for you,
I believe you feel at ease staying on for a longer period ... it appears to me
that you are quite enchanted by the CITADELLES FLOT[T]ANTES it certainly is
commendable and shows how studious men have made discoveries of art, this has
to be gratifying to the mind, how about the beautiful palaces and promenades,
you had to be impressed, this is bewildering to the senses and gives pleasure
that goes straight to the heart and mind ..."
Once
again asking for longer and more detailed letters and continuing with the
following description of the battle [at[Rossbach]:
It is
quite sad, our Genevans who are with Mr. de Soubise [Prince Charles de Rohan
Soubise, 1715-1787, battle of Rossbach where he was defeated by Frederick the
Great], the Prussian king attacked them on the fourth, and the prince
Islebaugausen (?) counter attacked the former, this was in a narrow pass, his
troops were broken through and defeated in a short time, and many were taken
prisoners, then the French fled and were driven off with many losses, it only
took two and a half hours, not many details are known but certain is, he fled
and they were pursued, no mail did come from France today, these are the
consequences of the wrong decision our young men made, what is to be done in
this war, ...I will always be the most affectionate mother, adieu.
Signed: Geneva, November 17, 1757,
Veuve Cazenove.
71x69.5 To: Paul Cazenove, l’Orient [probably
Lorient, Brittany], November 28[?], 1757.
"I
received, my dear son, your letter of the first and I am delighted that you are
in good health ... but I am sorry to learn that the sale only started the day
you wrote to me, thus will delay your return ..."
Being
mistaken about the countries he had passed and having assumed that there were
more pretty cities and villages on his way "I don't think it to be
sensible by comparing it to Chesne, well, you see one should not listen to mere
hearsay, if one has to bring down the French people as well as their country,
what will become of this nation so noble, so intelligent, the model of the
entire world, and what will be the models of the world, nothing but evil
automaton ..."
Wishing
him an easier departure from Paris next time "it is unthinkable to go any
other way than by livery carriage whatever age 25 to 30, 40 or 50 years
..."
Asking
him if he cannot dine with Plantamour or at least see him. Being quite
surprised by her son's poor spelling in his letters.
"All
our officers who were with Soubise's army [Soubise, Charles de Rohan,
1715-1787] are alive but seven, who were found later on, there were prisoners,
some were wounded, Mr. Gallatin lost the tip of his nose, why was it so long;
Mr. Garige [Garrigues], who is a prisoner, and all the Genevans complimented
the Prussian King, the king responded that he was sorry they were so cramped
but had not anticipated such a large company. The son of the minister Turretini
was captured but escaped and rejoined his company, his uncle is wounded and a
prisoner; Trembley became the minister of Justice without any competition,
Messrs. Salle and Rilliet became auditors ..., best regards to Mr. Claviere,
stay healthy, and enjoy yourself."
Signed: Geneva, November 28, 1757, Veuve Cazenove,
nee Bessonnet.
71x69.6 To: Paul Cazenove, L’Orient [probably
Lorient, Brittany], December 5, 1757.
"I
congratulate Mr. Claviere for the fine sale or the large number of transactions
you had, it deprived me of your letters for twelve days, I do not assume, my
dear son, this has been done out of laziness, idleness or forgetfulness on your
part ..."
Feeling
quite at loss of her son's departure for the Indies and asking him for more
detailed news "there are people who learn to write to please their family
and this is good, we all are in good health, thank God, Mr. Gallatin's nose is
not doing well, a good portion is missing, and that is quite annoying ...,
there is nothing else new here, you probably heard that the King of Prussia
goes to Silesia with 1500 [men], that the treaty of Hannover is contested to
some extent and an English general is heading the Hessians and Hannoverians,
witty remarks are expressed by the King of Prussia ..."
Asking
him to buy some green taffeta tissue for her, and reminding him not to forget
the tea, "your sister had her first Quadrille lesson with her Sunday
friends ... stay healthy, be happy and enjoy yourself.
Signed: Geneva, December 5, 1757,
Veuve Cazenove.
71x69.7 To: Paul Cazenove, Orient [probably
Lorient, Brittany], December 29, 1757.
"Well,
Mr. Lazy-Person, you did not find the time to write to us, not even a short
letter, but I hope to receive one by Tuesday, otherwise I will be furious, Mr.
Claviere was kind enough to let me know that your are alright, and that you
endured well the trip; how did you like Lyon, did you meet Mr. Grassot, how did
he greet you, tell me more about your trip, were you not sometimes longing for
your bed instead of the post-chaise, tell me about Paris, did you go to LA COMEDIE,
how did you manage all the confusion in Paris, were you not sorry to leave
there so soon, but you will see many cities on your way to l’Orient. When
changing the province everything becomes entertaining and makes you think, tell
me about the Orient and the work that is awaiting you, where have you to go to
learn to get an idea about the companies of the Indies, go and see the rivers
if you can. Tell me about what kind of amusement there is after work ... don't
forget to bring us some good tea, and some green taffeta, ask Mr. Claviere if
you cannot find it, don't be disappointed by what you see, be grateful what I
offer you at your age by this voyage, it is quite costly ... right now it is
cold here, ... stay healthy and write to me and you will always be, my dear
son, who I love dearly."
Signed: Montbrillant, December 29, 1757, Veuve
Cazenove.
71x69.8 To: Paul Cazenove, Paris, Date: December 31, 1757.
Letter
written on New Year's Eve "tomorrow we are beginning a new year, my dear
son, I hope it will be a good and happy one and the good Lord will protect
you...allow me on this day to give you a short moral lesson - out of friendship
- because you have reached the critical age when you will establish your
reputation ..." Pointing out the moral principles or rules of conduct and
virtues. The importance of first impressions, good manners, being tolerant, not
too shy, always respecting the customs of others, as strange as they may seem
to you, don't be selfish "do not give in to anger, it is very dangerous
for a young man who naturally has fiery blood, one cannot know where it will
induce you to ..., you may ask me whatever it is, for your education or your
pleasure, without ever feeling any obligation on your part towards me and
without having to reach for it, I'll be giving it to you whole heartily
..."
Her
cousin Rilliet asking to buy some rings for the cuirass of the horses. Hoping
he is on his way to Paris by now, "tell Mr. Claviere I assume that he had
a good sale, I am counting on his having bought out half of the merchandise of
the Oriental shops, and I hope you took care of the purchases I had specified,
what an endless exploit by Frederick, details I do not trust to put on
paper."
Signed: Geneva, December 31, 1757,
Veuve Cazenove.
71x69.9 To: Paul Cazenove, Paris, January 7,
1758.
"I
received your letter of the 23, my dear son, and the one of the second of
January, I am delighted to know that you arrived in good health, and that you
have left l’Orient, you are at the moment at a locality where all the young
people wish to be, therefore, enjoy yourself..."
Talking
about Mr. Grenus having been elected syndic with a large majority, wanted by
all the Burgesses; a marriage between Mr. Montelieu and Mrs. Favre de Cramer
and that Mr. Beaumont didn't accept the Professorship; asking him to bring back
some silk- multicolored ribbons, and two pairs of gilded candlesticks for two
candles each, "write to me about your departure from Paris, go and see
frequently Mr. Grassot in Lyon, saying adieu to you."
Signed: Geneva January 7, 1758,
Veuve Cazenove.
71x69.10 To: Paul Cazenove, Lyon, January, 1758.
"Hello,
my dear neighbor, have you arrived in good health in the lovely city of Lyon,
are you satisfied with your stay in Paris, and have you had a pleasant journey
... don't you think that life is expensive, I've been told that you used the
livery carriage quite frequently, for a young person, you put on quite some
air, I hope that you can walk in Lyon."
Asking
him to buy her a dress for spring, made of brocade textile, with a white
background and in a decent color, modestly priced, doubting the taste of Mr.
Claviere and Mrs. Delessert in this matter, therefore, Mr. Grassot might be of
some help ... "I hope your coming home will be soon, I have to finish and
say adieu, my dear son."
Signed: Geneva 7, 1758, Veuve
Cazenove.
71x69.11 To: Paul Cazenove, Lyon, January 20,
1758.
"I
received your letter very late, having remained on the road for a year, my dear
son, or don't you answer my letters anymore that I have been sending you to
Paris ... therefore, I don't know if you are in
Asking
him to write and letting her know if Mr. Claviere will come to stay with them,
so that two beds can be moved to his room for accommodations. His sister
wanting him to buy her a small muff for about twenty French francs.
Signed: Geneva, January 20, 1758,
Veuve Cazenove.
71x69.12 To: Paul Cazenove, Lyon, January 21,
1758.
"Not
knowing where you are, my dear son, believing and hoping that you are safely in
Lyon, I worry ... a large amount of snow has fallen and if, what I hope, you
are still in
Reminding
him once again to buy her some fabric for a dress and a skirt, and telling him
how thankful his cousin Rilliet is to Mr. Claviere for the rings he had bought
for him.
"I
just received your letter making me finish my letter with pleasure, so, I say
adieu really, I have to finish my letter, adieu, adieu."
Signed: Geneva, January 21, 1758,
Veuve Cazenove.
71x69.13 To: Paul Cazenove c/o Mr. Delessert
& Son & Delaval, Lyon, January 26, 1758.
"I
believe you are quite busy since you do not take the time reading my letter,
Mr. Foolish ... since you have never responded to my letters I am going to
teach you, how one answers paragraph by paragraph ..."
Not
knowing how much time he had to spent in Lyon, still, horses were dispatched
yesterday on the twenty-fifth for a departure on Monday "since the roads
are quite congested I prefer you staying in Lyon than being on the way, the
weather is quite dreary and if more snow will fall I prefer you to remain there
than to come home. You are not used to this kind of traveling and frost, put on
good shoes and dress warmly, wear your waistcoat and your frock-coat and cover
your feet with your dressing gown, but if new snow falls, stay or do not leave.
I have your room ready with two beds ... I believe that I have sent you a full
order book to let you know that I worked and worked with commission ..."
Hoping he
enjoyed the diner at Mr. Grassot and also the masked ball. Being fitted and
going as a girl didn't find his mother's approval "you are not the type
for this disguise, when you return tomorrow to Mrs. Laval change for something
else ... you could come without [buying]
a horse, it is better to buy one you will enjoy, don't count upon me to
exchange it every year, this is too expensive. Be cautious not to get caught by
paying more for one that its value ... Tell Mr. Grassot, when you see him, that
Mr. Vettembert relinquished his position as editor of the encyclopedia, he
questioned the belief of our theologians ... Greetings to Mr. Claviere, Mrs.
Sharf and Grassot and all the others I might know, adieu, stay healthy ...
Signed: Geneva, January 26, 1758,
Veuve Cazenove.
71x69.14 To: Paul Cazenove, London, Date: October 22, 1760.
"You
have made quite some headway already, my dear son, and you are, indeed, far
away from me I trust in good health, I know that the carriage left you at
Pontarlier [France] ... I am very sad when I don't see you and I don't
understand how I can so easily say yes
to your travel ... your sister who came on Sunday doesn't understand [either]
how I let you go, she cried when she received your letter ..."
Advising
him not to be too shy with Mr. Claviere "you will be the victim."
Writing about Mrs. Vernes who left last Wednesday "nobody seems to know
where to, however, this was arranged with the family in this way so it is
possible to ask for a divorce by desertion," the rumor has it -
maliciously - he made it worthwhile to her, - offering her a golden bridge - so
that she would leave."
Signed: Montbrillant, October 22,
1780, Veuve Cazenove, nee Bessonnet.
71x69.15 To: Paul Cazenove, London, November 1,
1760.
Today,
one week ago, I received your letter, my dear son, with much pleasure. I
received the one of your arrival in London with even more pleasure, if it is
possible ..."
Being not
surprised that he had found Paris less entertaining "the sojourn of the
campaign and the war are two reasons for reducing carriages and horses, I am
sorry that Plantamour was in such a hurry of leaving Paris ..."
Writing
about a violent storm at home that might have prevented his crossing, "but
with the change of the wind I hope that the crossing will be smooth and without
inconveniences ... your aunt Cazenove is pregnant that distresses me quite a
bit, your uncle is not in his right mind in this case considering her frailty
and her big family, the risk he chances to lose her, I hope everything turns
out alright. I have been told you will see the English Fleet that will be a
beautiful sight ..." Sending greetings to his cousin and warning her son
not to become too devoted to him "he is a man who is extremely debauch,
therefore, be careful with him..."
Signed: Montbrillant, November 1,
1760, Veuve Cazenove.
71x69.16 To: Paul Cazenove, London, November 26,
1760.
I
received, my dear son, your letter of the eleventh and I write to you today
with the request that you take the trouble of reading my letter to the end ...
in the first one, I wrote you to England, I told you about the pregnancy of
your aunt and you answer - why didn't you notify me..."
Being
again angry that he doesn't show more interest in the sights "I am
extremely annoyed that you were not going to kiss the hand of the king when it
was held out to you, and that you did not go and watch the king's funeral
[George II, 1727-1760], what is the use of traveling when one doesn't profit by
the opportunities, to see what one can, to learn from these fascinating occasions
and acquire some knowledge about the nation ... when one is in a strange
country one has to forget one's own interest from early in the morning onwards

Asking
him not to take up Mr. Durand's friendly offer to stay with him "it would
place you too far away from the king's coronation ..." Letting him know that his cousin
Sauter (?) had a baby-boy and fortunately she is doing very well.

him to buy two white hats [chapeau blanc, synonym for coiffure or head-dress],

"I
received, my dear son, with pleasure your letter of the eighteenth ..."
Writing about the bad weather of the season, and asking him, therefore, to stay
on in London for the time being and under the following conditions: "you
will go to Mr. Durand taking him up on his offer to stay with him ... you will
pay for your own meals, will conduct yourself properly, avoid bad company and
live modestly, and you will not play at any time His Lordship. This voyage is
costly enough for me, since I am extending it you wouldn't embarrass me by your
pleasures or on account of your pleasures, you will return when I tell you to
and won't try to eke it out ..."
Talking
about money - dividends - in her London Funds being at his disposal when
needed, but asking for a statement of the account, 200 coins [pieces] can be
counted on to be deposited. Inquiring if he had found a violin to play, either
by renting or borrowing one. "Thanks to you I had to deprive myself of
having a dress made that I needed, be good and reasonable and not a
villain..."
Telling
him that his horse had not been sold and emphasizing once again he only may
stay on if he writes once a week, otherwise she will be put out.

Oh, how
unpleasant it is for me, my dear son, that you are so far away and how many
times did I regret giving in so easily to accommodate you, sometimes I have
great misgivings about your absence, in a country like that, I am worried and
tormented and my nerves are shaking..."
Hoping
that he will behave himself, be cautious and will not do anything to lose his
reputation "this would be like a slow poison for me..."
Acknowledging
his letter of the eighteenth, in which he is telling her that he saw the king.
"Nothing new, no marriages, no deaths of importance, no ball - one lives

where you are I write to you, my dear son, hoping that you could be in Paris

stay on [in London] ..."
Writing
about everybody being in good health but his aunt who has erysipelason on the
scalp, and letting him know that his sister attends neither dance parties nor
picnics, because she will be introduced at the beginning of next year.
"Buy
me a pound of pepper, some bottles of EAUX DES CARMES, about a dozen and a half

has been some time now since I wrote to you, my dear son, to Paris..."
Inquiring
about what he is doing, about the country and his inhabitants "you have to
learn how to narrate.."
Writing
about the death of his uncle Theophile a very sad moment for his family, his
wife inheriting and taking possession of everything; hoping and wishing that
the Lord will protect his uncle David. His uncle Grenus having bought the
property BARBIN, for which he paid 2000 Pounds and 20 Louis D'Or.

1761.
"I
am answering, my dear son, your letters of the 23, 30, 2 and 12, these letters
were so delightful but I was especially pleased by the one of the twelfth and
the one of the second from which I learned about your departure ... you are
quite right not to stay in London solely for the coronation of the king since
it will not take place this spring, ... I heard about your arrival in Rotterdam
... but yesterday's letter from Paris noting that you will not come home
without giving me any reason for your staying on in Paris ..."
Being
concerned about his health, talking about the sudden death of Mr. Savage, a
room-mate, and Mr. Claviere's fever when he left
Wanting
to know about his accommodations if meals were included. Telling him how much
his uncle was touched by the death of his brother and his premonition that the
Cazenove will not reach an old age, a relapse of his aunt's erysipelas on the
scalp. His sister being married now, making fun of her mother who wants and is
looking forward so much to his return. "Adieu, my dear son..."

Mattel & Co., Paris, January 31, 1761.
"I
received, my dear son, your letters of the 22, 27 and I am glad to learn that
you are alright... I believe that Plantamour didn't need you to cure his love
[affair], he is doing fine and I am not saying what I think about this voyage
as well as other affairs ...
When one
is in a foreign country it becomes necessary to socialize and this is what you
need to do. I congratulate you for having met [Jacques] Necker,[1732-1804],
[Theodore] Tronchin, [1709-1781], and Palard [?]."
Asking
him why he doesn't take the trouble reading her letters to the end and
answering her questions, and why he did not let her know about the anxiety he
felt over the death of Mr. Savage in London "you could have said a word in
your last letter ... I believe you took a valet in service but I feel you could
keep an eye on things yourself, a servant one doesn't know can hardly be relied
upon. I don't know if I told you that Mr. Du Pan was elected a Syndic and Mr.
Vernes, Pastor of Seligni [Celigny], and the chamber of reformation once again
prohibited embroidered sleeves and decorated gowns ..."
Telling
him not to take a livery carriage without her permission, it wouldn't be proper
on his part, hastening to finish this letter because of a bothersome headache.

"It
is with much sorrow, my dear son, that I learned from your letter about your
illness or that you were ill and I was not aware of it ... you are sick and
away from home, surrounded by strangers, alas - why or by what fatality am I kept away from you,
my heart is aching but thanks to the good Lord you are convalescing by now, be
careful, don't get up too early, eat modestly ... don't accept dinner
invitations that could make you sick again, be courageous and don't become
depressed by this trouble ... from a letter by Mr. Dufour to the Plantamours I
learned that you had to be purged but had a good night, what a relief that
Plantamour was there..."
Asking
him to write to her without tiring himself out, to watch out not to catch any
colds "and don't go to the COMEDIE before you have gained your strength

A
four-page letter written by a very unhappy mother about her son's illness.
Advising him to be careful with what he eats or drinks "write in more
detail about your health, at the present time nothing is of any interest to me
but your health ..."
Feeling
quite disappointed by not seeing him coming home with Mr. Claviere. "I
miss you so very much when you are away, I cannot enter your room without being
overcome by sadness not finding you there, hence, I hardly go in anymore,... I
am not surprised that you stayed in Paris and transferred my permission [of the
vacation] from London to Paris but I am angry not knowing anything about your
stay ...I agree with your physician that your illness could have been so much
more serious if it had happened on the way ... I don't want you to come home
not one day too early, you will be the judge of the condition of your health
and your strength, they have to be regained before you leave ... the stagecoach
is too rough and tiresome, may be you can come by finding a good company 'til
Lyon in a special coach ..."
Urging
him not to leave before he feels better, finishing the letter by
tittle-tattling about the Lesage and Mrs. Verne.

Letting
her son know that his cousin Charlotte didn't belong to the nice circle anymore
of which she was so proud "because people find her cool and insolent..."
Asking if
Plantamour was still in
"Your
uncle paid 21 thousand pounds for repairs and work on a fountain [or spring],
he had to do it, he is pleased ... but since
we are no longer his neighbors we won't hear these jeremiads ... to cure
your boredom you could read [Jean Jacques] Rousseau [1712-1778] everybody talks
about him, he is the topic of all conversations ..."

am answering your letter of the eleventh, my dear son, ... what hurts me is
that you have to eat such rich food at your hotel, what should have been done
is to leave a cooking pot with bouillon in your room and then adding some fowl
to it, so you can eat what is good and healthy for you and abstain from eating
at the ordinary table ... right now you are out there in the world, Plantamour
introduced you to a few people, be discreet ... Mr. Turretini is a terrible
dandy to let people call him Marquis, he is no longer young enough for such
vanity ..."
Writing
about Mrs. Vernes who was assailed by six horsemen in her own house, and who
then took along some papers from her desk, nobody really knows why.
Asking him
to buy some green peas for her, either for planting or eating and three pounds
of knitting material, number 12, ... "ask some ladies to help you purchase

else as soon as possible ... leaving your mother without any news who showed
you her impatience to see you, staying on without any other reason than to go

The
Prince charmed everybody with his friendly attitude and greeted graciously the
people who were all trying to be in his path, he danced quite a lot, I ignore
who his favorite was, the countess was at the ball with her husband and
Cabanis, she complimented the Prince who in return answered politely and
gallantly, he said many amicable words to her ..."
Telling
him that she dined with his sister, his sister-in-law and her husband and that
she [his sister?] sings every day, the COMEDIE is very good for her. About the
two visits by the Prince [to the COMEDIE] and his donation of 20 Louis to the
comedians resulting in a better attendance of the COMEDIE.
"I
understand that you are quite often seen in the company of the people of the
Church, I hope it will not disturb you ..., Saturday evening a satire was
recited at Carouge called - DICTIONNAIRE des NEGATIFS - where everyone had a
share, here is yours C.B., at the end of the book there is a letter about our
situation and on freedom, Messrs. de Bernet of Zurich are praised for their
kindness and sagacity, - il y a que l'on ne parleroit pas ainsi a St. Omer -
this is expressed otherwise in St. Omer -[translation of an idiomatic
expression], these people are narrow-minded but they should come forward and if
Mr. Beau...[?] is not satisfied he can leave. Well, the way it is expressed is
quite irritating and insolent to his Excellency, he added that from these
people one has to expect almost everything ... three commissioners are going to
protest at the Syndic and, according to the law, that the satire will be
banished by the Government. He seems to be quite angry about it, it is said
that this is the work of some negative minds and they will pass it along among
the people, nothing unusual about that, they are not going to write to
themselves, ... I hope they will be found, it is better to pay for one's own
mistakes than when everybody has to pay for it. This must have irritated his
Excellency severely, it seems they are paid for doing something stupid, the
fools ...

hoped that you had asked her to stay. I will tell you something else, since she
sees herself quite ill I would have pointed out to her, to drink her water
right away and not to leave you all alone, sometimes it becomes necessary to
restrain women. What will people say
seeing her attending the ball after having said all over town that she was
suffering of six illnesses and for that reason she needed treatment, especially
for a corn on her foot ...
Your

your departure, I will be ready for him with a good spanking if it comes to

Talking
about a heat wave in Geneva and a coming event at the [Garden] of the

Series 5: Mrs. Cassius F. Lee - Mrs. Samuel F. du Pont Correspondence
(71x210)
Biographical
statement:
Cassius Francis Lee was the sixth
child of Sarah Lee and Edmund Jennings Lee.
He was born in Alexandria, Virginia, on May 22, 1808. Although he was trained as a lawyer, he never
practiced; he did serve as clerk of the U.S. Courts. Later, he entered the mercantile firm of
Cazenove & Co. He was an active
member of the Episcopal Church.
In 1833, Cassius married his first
wife Phillipa Ludwell Hopkins; the two had five children, including Cassius F.
Lee, Jr. (1844-1892). His second wife
was Anne Eliza Gardner, daughter of William Collins Gardner and Eliza Francis
Cazenove. She was born and raised in
Newport, Rhode Island. After their
marriage in 1846, they had six children who lived past infancy: Phillipa
(1847-1853), Constance Gardner (1848-1877), Cazenove Gardner (b. 1850), Francis
du Pont (1852-1891), Edmund Jennings (b. 1853), and Annie Eliza (b. 1861). All three sons attended Episcopal High
School. Francis become a priest in the
Episcopal church; he married Anne Henderson. Both Cassius and Anne Eliza Lee died at their
home in Alexandria. She died in 1885; he
died in 1890.
Sophie Madeleine du Pont was the
youngest daughter of Eleuthere Irenée and Sophie Dalmas du Pont. Born in 1810, she was raised at Eleutherian
Mills, the du Pont family home outside Wilmington, Delaware. In 1833, she married her cousin, Samuel
Francis du Pont (1812-1865), son of Victor Marie du Pont. They established a household at Louviers, across
the
Scope
and content:
Most of the letters in this series
were addressed to Sophie Madeleine (Mrs. Samuel Francis) du Pont, at Upper
Louviers, on the Brandywine, near Wilmington, Delaware. Many of the letters were written between
1846-1878 by her friend Anne Eliza Gardner (Mrs. Cassius F.) Lee, from her
home, Menokin farm, near Alexandria, Virginia.
Many of these letters were not dated.
A date was assigned by family members when the material was
arranged. The letters from Anne Eliza (Mrs. Cassius)
Lee to Mrs. du Pont have been transcribed, and an index to the transcriptions
was prepared. These materials are also
found in this series.
Additional letters to Sophie
Madeleine du Pont, and letters and documents pertaining to the Cazenove,
Gardner, and Lee families are also included in this series. Much
of the material was collected by Cassius F. Lee, Jr. and later by Cazenove
Gardner Lee, Jr. in efforts to compile a family history. Notations made by John Askling and Dorothy
Vandegrift Lee about the documents have been included in the finding aid. Also in this series is some jewelry and a
thimble which belonged to Mary O'Hara (Mrs. Louis Albert) Cazenove.
