Scope and Contents:
Handwritten letter from Katharine Dunlap to Mildred Bliss thanks her for making it possible for her to spend a lovely afternoon in her garden with Mrs. Archibold. She reports the Forsythia was in bloom, a perfect cascade of golden blossom, and the birds, cardinals, robins and others were singing in the ravine and among the fruit trees which were in bloom. The grassy slopes were starred with daffodils, and everything was looking so beautiful. She knows Mildred will be glad to get back to it....
