Geschwind Papers
This selection of letters drawn from the Mary L. Geschwind Papers, held by the Library of Virginia, focuses on business and personal correspondence of the Haase family of Richmond, Virginia, from the late nineteenth century until the 1920s. The patriarch of the Haase family, Charles Haase, immigrated to the United States in the 1850s and by 1867 had established himself in the fur trade in Richmond. This collection includes several letters sent by Leopold Haase (18??-1917?), a cousin of Charles Haase who had moved to the city of Reval, in the Russian empire (now Tallinn, Estonia) as a young man and was also established in the fur trade.
