Container Summary

Contains 6 important autograph copies of correspondence, in French, sent by General George Maghieru to the Ottoman minister of foreign affairs. Contents summary is included. A seventh letter is listed by not extant. Correspondence includes information pertaining to the diplomatic relations between European powers and Turkey, during and after the Crimean War (peace being signed on March 30, 1853). Also includes information about Romanian principalities and the formation of the modern Romanian state. The correspondence may have been given to Carroll Spence by Maghieru because of the former's interest in Romanian politics, as well as in Maghieru's return to his native country. (See also Folder 1:21 for more information about Maghieru and his association with Spence.)
