Description
Letter asking for Beatrix Farrand's review and comments on an attached report on the Dumbarton Oaks grounds policy. In the report, Beatrix Farrand provides her insight as to how Harvard could adapt the Dumbarton Oaks gardens over time to better fit the institution's educational purposes.

Marked as received, [June] 30 [1941]. Handwritten check marks noted in margins, perhaps by Mildred Bliss.
