Draft of "A list of the books belonging to the late Library of Harvard College [...]," ca. 1764

Letter from Dr. Nathaniel Lardner to Jasper Mauduit listing books donated to Harvard, July 12, 1764, and manuscript copy of the letter

A pencilled note in the hand of John Langdon Sibley reads: "Probably the handwriting of Dr. Lardner."

Verso of letter contains list, in another hand, of books donated to Harvard by Joseph Jennings.
