N2  - Part I contains correspondence primarily between Benjamin B. French and his half brother Henry Flagg French of Exeter, N.H., journals (1828-1870), poems, clippings, and printed material.  Includes Benjamin B. French's observations on New Hampshire politics, freemasonry, his involvement with the Magnetic Telegraph Company, the presidency of Franklin Pierce, social life in Washington, D.C., French's association with Abraham Lincoln, Lincoln's assassination, the Civil War, the years following the Civil War, and Congress; Part II consists chiefly of the papers of Benjamin B. French, his son Francis Ormond French, and Amos Tuck.  Benjamin B. French's correspondence continues topics found in Part I.  Francis Ormond French's journals cover his early years in Washington, D.C., as well as his years at the Rittenhouse Academy, Washington, D.C., Phillips Exeter Academy, Exeter, N.H., and Harvard College, Cambridge, Mass.  His correspondence provides insight into the life of a prosperous American family of the late nineteenth century in New York, N.Y.  Amos Tuck's correspondence pertains to politics, his travels in the Midwest in 1851, and the devastation of the South from the Civil War.  Also includes letters of William Merchant Richardson.  Francis's correspondents include Harris C. Fahnestock, Daniel Chester French, Lot M. Morrill, Hugh McCulloch, William A. Richardson, and John Sherman
