Letter from Sterling Morton to Clarence E. Godshalk. He is neutral about adding peonies to the gardens, but he hopes they could be planted far enough apart to be cultivated with the small tractor. The study of feeding to control disease, filling around larger trees, pruning, etc. could make a lasting contribution to homes and gardens in Chicago.  He's willing to buy the Jones' land for less than $1000 an acre. With that parcel and one other small piece you will be able to lay out the road system with more freedom. He is sorry to hear of Mr. Parmelee's death, a fine and reliable man. He also mentions Colonel McCormick's death as a loss to Chicago and beyond.
