Old Crane from Van Harlingen House,, 1946-1953

Contains correspondence between Charles Miller (RC 1913), Earle Reed Silvers, and Elizabeth Boyd. Letter from Miller first inquires if Rutgers is interested in accepting a donation of a fireplace crane that hung in Van Harlingen House, where Rutgers met during the Revolution when General Howe had occupied New Brunswick. Subsequent letters indicate that the crane was donated, but after several years could no longer be found.
