Description

Copy of typewritten letter probably sent by Anne Sweeney to Beatrix Farrand in care of Ellis Russell, Esq. discussing her return to Washington, DC and Beatrix Farrand's encouraging letter of April 14th that she received. Mildred Bliss wanted all the panels in place in the Catalogue House for guests wandering the gardens. Anne Sweeney is not sure if the plant and flower selections for the panels will meet approval of Beatrix Farrand. Anne indicates that she has not heard from Alfred Rehder or the New York Botanical Garden even though she has written them twice.

Copy is unsigned.
