Description
Typewritten letter reporting projects discussed with Robert Patterson to thin and replant garden areas, and to improve paths throughout the garden.
Letter written on Beatrix Farrand's, Reef Point, Bar Harbor, Maine letterhead. Handwritten annotations perhaps added by Mildred Bliss.
Enclosed with letter was a typewritten three page copy of a list of suggestions discussed with Mr. Patterson with regard to his first visit to Dumbarton Oaks, May 27-28-29, 1946 created by Beatrix Farrand with Mrs. Bliss written in the upper right hand corner to indicate her copy. Suggestions include paving areas around the garden; trimming, thinning, planting, and replacing plants; and planning a parking lot. Handwritten annotations appear to be added later in Mildred Bliss' hand. These same notes were sent by Beatrix Farrand to John Thacher on the same day D:BF 1946.06.11.
