Papers of Frederick Law Olmsted, Manuscript Division, Library of Congress, Washington, D.C. Citations for letters in the Olmsted Papers typically do not give reel or folder locations. However, in cases where duplicate copies exist or when a specific location will help ease the ambiguity of a citation, the editors have included microfilm reel number, followed by frame number (i.e., 52: 286 for reel 52 of the Olmsted Papers, frame 286).
