Letter from Sterling Morton to Clarence E. Godshalk. He's glad to hear of progress on buildings. He is sorry to hear of several deaths: Martin Carroll, Joe Burgee and John Holabird. He is aware of discussion about the new tollway. Being able to acquire several miles of right-of-way at once, should make the highway department be sensitive to positioning it favorably to Morton Arboretum. He has landscape sketches from Wagstaff to make the Lake Forest place nearly maintenance-free. In the plan could an Alpine currant hedge substitute for some of the yews? Parking spaces need to be longer and longer as the American cars are getting so much bigger. There were compliments about Godshalk's talk at the Shade Tree Conference.
