synopsis

John Charles Olmsted visited Mrs. Caldwell and the Misses Norton in 1906 to discuss the planting plan. He also advised on the size of the stable, writing in his notes that "they ought not to cut down on the number of stalls, as this is a permanent investment while automobiling may be a temporary fad." In addition he suggested sharing their brother's drive (see 02063).
