February 24th, 1896! Mr. Walter Deang, 9 Brewster St., Cambridge Dear Sir:- I beg to acknowledge the receipt of your letter dated February 22nd, concerning the flora of the Metro- politan Reservation. T shall take the first opportunity of peinging the question of the printing of the flora to the at- tention of the Metropolitan Park Commission. |The Commission meets next Wednesday, and, of course, I shall make every effort a to get the document printed at the earliest possible date. It had been the Commission's intention to print it with their annual revort and one or two of the Commissioners have, at different times, questioned me as to the progress of the work, but the report had to go to press early in January and so that opportunity as unevoidably lost. Yours trad FREDERICK LAW OLMSTED. JOHN CHARLES OLMSTED. CHARLES ELIOT. OLMSTED;OLMSTED & ELIOT, LANDSCAPE ARCHITECTS. EDWARD D.BOLTON, WARREN H.MANNING, SUPERINTENDENT OF CONSTRUCTION. SUPERINTENDENT OF PLANTING. March 10th, 1896. Brook Line, Mass. Mr. Walter Deane, Cambridge, Mass. Dear Sir:- Your note dated March 8th is at hand. Mr. Manning told me that you expected to add to the manuscript which he showed me some fifteen or twenty pages, so that the total number of manuscript pages would amount to the number which, as Barrows estimated it for us, made the cost of printing and binding in paper covers about $200. I have forgotten the exact figuring, but I know that the appropriation ordered by the Metro- politan Commission was $200 and I hope you will certainly be able to keep within that sum. Yours truly, Charles Eliot. per 5.5. FREDERICK LAW OLMSTED. JOHN CHARLES OLMSTED, CHARLES ELIOT. OEMSTED:OLMSTED & ELIOR, LANDSCAPE ARCHITECTS. EDWARD D.BOLTON, WARREN H.MANNING, SUPERINTENDENT OF CONSTRUCTION. SUPERINTENDENT OF PLANTING. Broowiine, Mans: Marth 20th, 1600, Walter Deane, Esq., Cambridge, Mass. Dear Sir;- I have received your two notes of March Leun: Please note that we expect you to contrive go get your hundred copies bound with the maps and your fifty copies interleaved all within the aypropriation of $850 made by the Commission. As to the question of admitting notes on plants or lists of plants to the printed volume, I hope you will make a strict rule to admit nothing that is not reliably ascertained to have been found within the bounds of at least one of the reservations. No lists ought to be printed or made a part of the book which do not specifically mention the reservation or the reservations within which the species mentioned has been found. Indeed, I think: you ought to be very cautious about admitting any species which are not supported by actual. specimens. This I know to be the view of the Commissioners and the mule ought to be strictly enforced. I am authorized to speak for the Commission in this matter, because our firm were directed by vote of the Commission to cause botanical work to be begun and the printed lists to be prepared.

Would you kindly send me your draft of a preface, or if you are to be in town tomorrow, you might perhaps hand it to me at the office of the Park Commission in the afternoon. The extract from the records of the Park Commission might perhaps be print by themselves on the back of the title page. I should that the preface itself might occupy more than one put of this we can talk perhaps tomorrow. Me Yours truly, —— f\ ; 2 4 ey ete Mw RY \ O& 4 \.

Dear Sir;-— How does the printing get along? At the next meeting I propose to ask the Board whether they wish to make the book an official publication or not,- whether the title page should read- Commonwealth of Massachusetts, Metropolitan:Park Comission Bulletin No. 1 FLORA of the Public Reservations (controlled by | the a ao Pdi, § Metropolitan Park Commission. Preliminary Edition 1896 oer the same with the top lines left off. It might. at all events, be well to have the introduction start off as follows:- Extract from the records of the meeting of the metropoli- tan park commission held January 26th, 18094. "“Ordered;- that the landscape architects (Messrs. O1n- sted, Olmsted & Eliot) be authorized to incur an expense not ex- Deane- &. ceeding $500 for preparing a botanical flora of the reservations" Extract from the records of the meeting of the metropolitan park commission held June 12th, 1895. "“Ordered;- that the sum of $250 be apvropriated to con- tinue the botanical work in the reservations until January lst, 1896; said work to be under the direction of the landscape archi- tects", Extract from the records of the meeting of the metropoli- tan park commission held February 28th, 1895. "“Ordered;- that a thousand copies of the list prepared by Prof. Walter Deane be printed and bound in paper covers at an expense not exceeding $200". Extract from the records of the meeting of the metropoli- tan park commission held March lith, 1895. "Ordered;- that the appropriation for printing the flora of the reservations be increased from $200 to $350". And then some account of the growth of the work- how Mr. Manning of our office organized the botanical explorations, start- ed-the collections, etc. and how you edited the results. After the meeting on Wednesday I shall write you again. Yours truly, 4 Md } i oe /\ a \y j 4
