Description
Letter mentions there is a Harvard Corporation meeting at Dumbarton Oaks soon; therefore, Beatrix Farrand does not want to write Mildred Bliss directly regarding book purchases.

Traylen (Firm), No. 338, Mrs. (Jane) Loudon's, The Ladies Flower Garden, a 5 volume set selling for 80 pounds; No. 347, J.G. Millais, Rhododendrons ... etc." at 35 pounds; and No. 284, Reginald Farrer's, My Rock Garden at 35 pounds. Beatrix Farrand would like to get approval from Mildred Bliss before purchasing the first two books because of the high cost.
