This series contains correspondence and architectural drawings regarding the Duke Chapel crypt. The correspondence is largely between architect Julian Abele and President William P. Few and Brower (as Administrative Assistant). The correspondence is about the placement of James A. Thomas' cremains and marker as well as the grave marker for President Few. A copy of a letter, likely written by Few to Thomas' widow, is the only known direct statement indicating that Abele was responsible for designing Duke Chapel.
