<div class="gmail_default" style="font-size:large">Dear gentlemen,</div>
<div class="gmail_default" style="font-size:large">Your names were the last ones I had for NPS/Lincoln Park maintenance, I hope that you are still with the NPS and can assist with (or forward to the appropriate person) this request ask for NPS to provide an
arborist to assess the damaged chestnut trees in Lincoln Park, Washington, D.C.</div>
<div class="gmail_default" style="font-size:large">The reason is that this morning someone ripped down a large branch from one of the chestnut trees in the northeast corner of the park. It seems it was done to harvest the chestnuts that are falling at this
time. I am concerned about the health and continued existence of these beautiful trees, can you please arrange quickly for an arborist to investigate the current health and maintenance of the trees? </div>
<div class="gmail_default" style="font-size:large">The park is used and enjoyed much by the neighborhood, it is an asset that most people respect. </div>
<div class="gmail_default" style="font-size:large">Thank you for any assistance or guidance you provide,</div>
