Description:
These were in the hand of Gustave de Beaumont and were taken by White from the manuscript of volume 7 of Beaumont's Oeuvres Completes d'A. de Tocqueville. White took only those eighteen which he did not find in original or in copy in the Redier manuscripts, see below B.I.a.2. For an estimate of Beaumont's considerable omissions and alterations, consult White catalogue 1W below, E.IV.e. Beaumont's copies are still in the Tocqueville Tocqueville MSS, T:IV.A.1. Bonnel copied all but the first page of one letter (later corrected) from what White apparently labelled "Paquet 15". As for what may have happened to the originals, see Jardin comments in E.VI.

Dans l'etat actuel de mon information, voici ce que je pense:
- les manuscrits des lettres a ses parents et a ses freres n'ont pas et‚ retrouves;
- par contre des lettres a des cousins (Mme de Leusse) ou des amis (Ernest de Chabrol) existent chez leurs heritiers ou les acquereurs de ces bibliotheques."
