Bouton a piece for a book on Central Park. Of special interest are a letter to Edmund Clarence Stedman demanding to know why he was not anthologized and a letter to John Sullivan Dwight claiming that his transcendental acquaitances and beliefs have ostracized him and mentioning the Dial and the imminent founding of Brook Farm.
