To Thomas C. Fields
| Thomas Craig Fields, Esq., of the Special Committee Dear Sir, |
Central Park December 12, 1860 |
I have received your note of the 11th instant, enquiring if I am still impressed with the desirableness of the acquisition of the land between 106th & 110th Streets, between 5th & 8th avenues, for the Central Park.
I have had no reason to change the opinion formerly expressed to the Commission that the acquisition of the land in question would add greatly to the value of the park, the line of 106th Street offering a most inconvenient and unseemly boundary, that of 110th Street a natural, convenient and beautiful termination of its scenery.
I am Sir
Very Respectfully
Very Respectfully
F.L.O.
