Dear Mr. O’Connor:
I am writing in response to your FOIL request for records pertaining to Camp Siegfried on Long Island.

All the images have been digitized and are available on our website, www.nyc.gov/records<http://www.nyc.gov/records> (click on photo gallery and then type “Siegfried” in the search box).
