DescriptionLetter from Clarence E. Godshalk to Joy Morton. Men are working in the east woods, but it is so muddy they have to walk from Warrenville Road in. There is a lot of wood to haul out of there, but they will wait for drier roads. They are doing spraying the lilacs for oyster shell scale and pruning. Teuscher is pleased with the way the plants have come through the winter. His wife is being helped by Mrs. Tromp, the gardener's wife. The new gardener is doing fine, with sweet peas and snap dragons going into frames. The surveyors are working on the Lacey place, which was bought by Mr. Toombs. He'll fix up the old Lacey place, and then later plans to build a big house. He will not subdivide the land. Godshalk found two shagbark hickories on the Hatch and Yackley woods you bought; Teuscher can hardly believe it. There are others that are coming up throughout the woods.  Black locusts above the cactus/gravel pit did not work well. We will put some pines along with the existing Scotch pines there instead. Mrs. Barnett tells me you are having nice weather in Florida.
