Maass, Richard, 1919-1998,. The Richard Maass collection of Westchester and New York State, 1645-1910 (bulk 1770-1783).

Title: The Richard Maass collection of Westchester and New York State, 1645-1910 (bulk 1770-1783).

Collection consists of over three hundred autograph letters, documents, and newspapers which chronicle the early history of New York State from its colonization by the Dutch to the mid-nineteenth century. The collection is, however, particularly rich in materials relating to the Revolutionary War and can provide researchers with multiple perspectives on significant events and individual military campaigns. For example, the Battle of White Plains is amply documented in the collection through correspondence from participants and observers, as well as in contemporary newspaper accounts. The arrangement of the collection, for the most part, has followed Maass's own organization. With a few exceptions, each item has been listed and described individually in the finding aid. Any additional information that has been provided by Maass regarding a specific document has been retained and placed in a folder which has been filed immediately behind the folder containing the document to which it relates. Almost every folder for each item in the collection contained a one to two page description of the document, as well as other ancillary materials such as transcriptions and/or translations of documents by Maass. These folders also occasionally contained provenance information. Any additions to the collection are to be processed as separate accretions. In addition to autograph letters and historical documents, the Maass Collection contained a small amount of printed materials. These chiefly consisted of over thirty different early American, British, and French newspapers, dating mainly from the eighteenth century, which have been organized as a separate series (Series V).

The affairs of New Jersey are before the Council and the Board of Trade, but as a lord of the Treasury he cannot help to forward Mr. Allen's application. He knows little of Mr. [Robert Hunter] Morris beyond the fact that his father [Lewis Morris] was considered here to have been a fine governor of New Jersey, and was ill used by the province on that account for (whatever your friends may tell you) the people there have not the respect and regard they ought to have for their Mother Country, but affect so much independence. He wishes Mr. Belcher may not have acted with too much complacence. Refers to the sermon he has printed on occasion of the late earthquakes.
