- History / Biographical
- Richard Dobie (b. c. 1731 in Liberton, Scotland; d. 23 March 1803 in Montreal, Lower Canada) was a Montreal fur trader and also dry goods merchant. He at times partnered with other traders such as Benjamin Frobisher or participated in various companies or as an outfitter and financial backer in fur trade endeavours. Dobie was highly influential in the developing business society of Lower Canada and Montreal. For further information: see the Dictionary of Canadian Biography, online (www.biographi.ca). This letter mentions not being able to do business with the "Israelite[s]" during Passover, an indication of Jewish presence in Montreal's developing economy.
