My rules:

- If it is required, send (no brainer)
- If it is blatantly not requested, do not send (think of the "Why Cornell" essay, they just want 3 lines)
- If it is optional, send

Yours falls under the third rule. Send. Otherwise, you will be one of the few applications without that component and will be at a disadvantage.

Always send the maximum number of LORs that you have and can send to any school. If a school requires none but accepts three, and you have three LORs you used for other schools, send them all. If a school requires one but accepts up to four, and you have two total because most schools require two, send two. Schools that require one LOR or none at all for the most part expect two LORs anyway because so many schools require two LORs and most people will send two (or more) everywhere.
