- Summary
- Leonard de Neufville was the son of merchant banker Jean (John) de Neufville, head of the firm of Jean de Neufville & Son in Amsterdam. The firm assisted the Continental Congress with financial transactions during the American Revolution. Leonard emigrated to the United States in 1783 and was later joined by his father, who attempted to obtain restitution for wartime losses. Leonard established glass works at Dowesburgh (Guilderland) near Albany, New York, in 1785. The collection consists of business letters to Leonard de Neufville at Albany, Philadelphia, and Charleston, from New York merchant Robert Gilchrist and others, 1786-1789, and two receipts. Letters from Gilchrist to Leonard de Neufville concern de Neufville's financial difficulties, particularly with respect to the glass works at Albany. Receipts are for payment from Leonard de Neufville via Gilchrist signed by Isaac H. Levy, 1789; and for payment from John de Neufville, discharging debts of John de Neufville & Son, signed by Paschal N. Smith, 1790.
