              <text>Arthur C. Bining was a Philadelphia historian, worked as a professor of history at the University of Pennsylvania and was associated with the Pennsylvania Historical Association. This small collection contains letters, autographs, and papers he collected over time. A portion of the papers originated from the United States Customs House of Philadelphia and deal mostly with routine customs matters. There are also folders of papers from individuals that are not associated with the Customs House, such as army officer James Barker, painter Abbott H. Thayer, and inventor August F. W. Partz. Additional papers include those of Joseph R. E. Bunel, paymaster general of the French colony of Santo Domingo, Haiti; and Marie F. M. Bunel, a businesswoman in Santo Domingo.</text>

              <text>The "Bunel letters" in Box 4 originated from Joseph R. E. Bunel, paymaster general of the French colony of Santo Domingo, Haiti, and Marie F. M. Bunel, businesswoman in Santo Domingo. In 1804, following the successful Haitian revolution, the Bunels moved to Philadelphia. Included are their incoming personal and business correspondence and a few miscellaneous financial records. The papers date primarily from 1787 to 1812, with a few papers dating up to 1831. The correspondence is largely in French, though two Spanish documents were found mixed in. Typed translations accompany some but not all of the French papers.</text>
