Scope and arrangement
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.
