Manuscripts
A collection of William P. Eaton's letters to his parents which document his student life at Yale and Harvard and his teaching career in the American South and Western New York. The letters discuss his family, social, and professional life, religious beliefs, and local politics. The letters from Alabama and Texas depict discomforts, particularly "prejudices of a sectional nature" experienced by a New Englander in the South. The collection also includes letters from Eaton's father, Joseph Eaton, which discuss family and local news; and an 1864 letter from Eaton's son Joseph to his mother describing his cruise onboard the U.S. Frigate Santee, the school ship of the U.S. Naval Academy.
