Letter from Mary C. Jones, Waldorf-Astoria, New York to Mrs. Robert Woods Bliss, June 28, 1937 Digital
Scope and Contents
Handwritten letter from Mary C. Jones to Mildred Bliss says her graciousness in making it possible for Jones to see Mildred's exquisite gardens gave her a sense of real adventure. She asked Arthea [?] Rutherford to express to Mildred her sincere appreciation, but she must also add her own thanks. Last winter Mrs. Max Farrand [Beatrix] spoke of Mildred's gardens in a way that Jones was at once intrigued, and Jones shall take the pleasure of sharing her experience with Beatrix when she sees her next winter in California.
