Description
Letter answers Mildred Bliss' letters of March 22 and 25, 1947. Beatrix Farrand explains her lack of strength will prevent a visit to Dumbarton Oaks this spring and mentions a letter was sent to John Thacher about resigning as Consulting Landscape Gardener at Dumbarton Oaks. She understands the importance of writing the plant record notes for Dumbarton Oaks but it will be slow and reports success by Robert Patterson in having the Maine legislature pass the Reef Point Gardens bill. The bill awaits the Governor's signature.
Beatrix Farrand mentions she was tasked by Bishop Henry Yates Satterlee to get stones from the Glastonbury Abbey for the Washington National Cathedral for which she was successful, and Max Farrand's book on Benjamin Franklin's Memoirs may be published soon.
On Beatrix Farrand's Reef Point, Bar Harbor, Maine letterhead, with address crossed out and replaced with Santa Barbara, California.
Handwritten signature in ink, perhaps not that of Beatrix Farrand, but her secretary in Reef Point, Isabelle M. Stover.
Marked as received [April] 12 [1947].
