DescriptionLetter from C. E. Godshalk to Joseph Cudahy and Jean Morton Cudahy detailing his thoughts on future plans for the Arboretum. He gives a detailed plan on how to handle the traffic on busy Sundays in May and October and for possible future flower shows. He discusses an Arboretum tea room and picnic areas. He talks about building buildings for a nature school covering nature study and horticulture which could also cover agricultural topics in the off season. He suggests tearing down the Home Farm buildings and building one building for tool storage. 4-H shows could also be held at this site. He would like to create demonstration educational exhibits of small country home sites, perhaps funded by Sterling Morton in memory of his father. He suggests building farm buildings on Warrenville Road to demonstrate the running of a modern large farm. Finally, he suggests building an air strip and tearing down and building additional housing. He asks for their comments on his ideas.
