- catalog abstract "Contains letters, memoranda, agreements, invoices, receipts, account statements and other material concerning Bennette Claude Merlino de Saint Pry. Merlino de Saint Pry was a shipping merchant who was delivering goods to the Boston and Newburyport area, some from the West Indies. He also owned a saltworks in Maine and there are papers here concerning that enterprise. Most of the papers were sorted into groupings by family members and these groups were retained when possible. Much of these earlier papers are fragments, many very faint and hard to read. Also included are papers of Saint Pry's daughter, Helena Merlino de Saint Pry Treat (1779-1845) and a few of her husband Captain Samuel Treat. Among these papers are letters concerning Helena's efforts to regain her inheritance held by France. Apparently Albert Gallatin and the Marquis de Lafayette, as well as many others, assisted her to regain this fortune.".
