Letter from Clarence E. Godshalk to Joy Morton. He sent some photos recently. Now he is working on inventories and closing the books at the end of the year. Jim [?] will leave and Miss Maxfield will start the 1928 bookkeeping. The new gardener, Mr. Tromp, was very highly credentialed from Lake Forest. He brought cuttings with him from the Lamont Estate. He is an energetic worker and is getting along fine with Van Gemert, especially as both are "Hollanders". Our ice is all cut and was put up before this warm spell has made it soft and porous. We are cutting and hauling in wood as fast as we can. The ground is pretty slushy. We'll wait for cold weather to transplant the evergreens. The dairy production has increased. Peter Jargick didn't go to work for Morkrum, but is driving for a man in LaGrange who sprained his ankle. There seems to be no damage from rabbits to our plants. With the snow melting they cannot reach over our protective wires. Mary Alice is growing and repeating any word we tell her. She is walking up and down stairs. Mr. Tate mentioned that he sold 15 acres west of Joliet Road for $1000 per acre. He hopes Morton's rheumatism improves. Mrs. Barnet writes that the weather in Florida is chilly.
