Letter from Sterling Morton to Clarence E. Godshalk.  Your letter of April 16 was a "most interesting and understanding letter and really makes me more willing to assume the responsibilities than I had before." It is all right to charge the roof bill of $200, the tank bill of $300, and the underground cable bill of $275 to the Chairman's Fund. In the future as emergencies arise and I'm not available, you may use this fund. You have employed the 15 regular men during the winter. I will add $1000 to the labor budget for the summer schoolboys to clean up. "The Arboretum will be receiving additional income from my sister's estate to go into the general fund."  He is in favor of the forestry plots, perhaps using some of the farmland that is less productive, to demonstrate not only good practices but bad uses. This would be useful if they undertake plant pathology. It should include hardwood, softwood and conifers, with each plot having several acres. Mrs. Morton hopes to be well enough for their trip abroad. He details his flight when the  pilot flew them down into the Grand Canyon.
