| Summary: |
Franklin Bache was a Philadelphia physician, professor of chemistry, and author.
The main body of these papers is contained in Bache's letterbook and incoming correspondence, both of which consist almost entirely of letters to and from Albert Dabadie, Bache's brother-in-law and an expatriate American in Europe. The correspondence relates to Dabadie's American investments, French spoliation claims, and his appointment as American consul in Italy, as well as European political and economic conditions and family matters.
There are some letters, 1850-1852, of Bache to his son, [Thomas] Hewson Bache, who was studying medicine in Europe, with fatherly advice to the son on studies, finances, and life, and reporting on activities back home. There are also notes and a committee draft report, 1841, on the origin of the American Philosophical Society, of which Bache was an officer, and a manuscript on chemistry. |
