| Comment: |
Cuyler was alive when window was made so it was originally commemorative rather than memorial [DEDUCED] |
|
There were erroneous reports that the window was designed by Tiffany and he wrote letters to newspapers to correct this [EAGLE1893B, NYTR1893B, NYP1893A] |
|
The window was deemed unsatisfactory by Rev. Gregg and others and so Tiffany did some remedial work on it [BC1893B, BC1893D] |
