Description
Typewritten letter responds to Mildred Bliss' letter and rejoices that she supports a scholarly Garden Library at Dumbarton Oaks. Beatrix Farrand expresses her continued interest and enthusiasm for Dumbarton Oaks and moans the loss of branches and trees in the gardens from the hail storms and twisters with specific reference to a maple and the Copper Beech in the Beech Terrace. She mentions it was good the grading of the Beech Terrace was not altered.
Beatrix Farrand will look over the book lists sent to her, but mentions the Harvard [Department of Landscape Architecture] list and the Massachusetts Horticultural Society list offer only commonplace books. The library needs to include rare books by [Johannes] Kip, [Georges-Louis] LeRouge, and [John Claudius?] Loudon, and the Great Iris book [William Rickatson Dykes?].
Postscript and signature in ink.
On Beatrix Farrand's Reef Point, Bar Harbor, Maine letterhead.
