Abeel, Neilson, 1902-1949

Neilson Abeel (Princeton Class of 1924) was a poet.

The collection consists of selected papers of Abeel (1902-1949, Princeton Class of 1924), including typescript and carbon copies of about 24 poems ("New Jersey Evening," "Gay Head," "Homecoming," etc.); letters by John Finley, Wilson Farrand, Edith Bolling Wilson, and others; and miscellaneous documents, photographs, and printed matter. Also contains papers of Rev. John Neilson Abeel (1769-1812, Princeton Class of 1787). Neilson Abeel is related to but does not appear to be directly descended from John Neilson Abeel.

Placed in the library by Mrs. Neilson Abeel in 1939 and 1954.
