To Richard Grant White
| My Dear Sir | Gramercy House, April 16th [1858] |
Until I met you on the street this evening I had not given out a copy of the Report on the “Greensward” plan, except to the Board of Commissioners, thro’ their clerk, and to the Mayor for his private perusal, considering it improper to do so until the Commissioners thought proper to admit the public to examine the designs.
The articles in the Post last night, however, end any such obligation. How the editor procured a copy of the “Greensward” report, I do not know. The others have been freely distributed by the authors.
I gave you in the [. . .] article all the information about the plans which can properly have transpired and should be glad to have it published.
Yours Very Truly
Fred. Law Olmsted.
Richard Grant White, Esq.
