Letter from Sterling Morton to Clarence Godshalk. I'm sorry I wasn't able to go to Louisiana, the first time I've missed that meeting since 1934. If there are matters to discuss prior to the meeting, let me know. [Pencilled in the margin: Sat. off, Travelling Exp, Pension, Salaries, Picnic Shelter, Equip.] The School Board is requesting 20 acres, which seems like a lot. Morton proposes a long-term lease, with complete control over plantings and structures. He does not want to assign too much of Warrenville Road frontage, nor land in back of the proposed power line. He offers opinions on various locations of the power line. He wants to see this settled so other real estate proposals can go forward.
