Letter from Sterling Morton to Clarence E. Godshalk. He wants Mr. Fisher to study the houses and plan the orientation of them. Then the landscape layout will evolve, with perhaps a design competition. The exhibition will be both housing and landscaping.  He is not surprised that Sharpless has quit. Morton felt he had been in a county job and would not work as hard as Godshalk would want. Climbing tree trimmers are best with an outside company because of liability, withholding tax and other things that are managed elsewhere. He's sorry that Dutch elm disease has affected Morton Arboretum and he's sure Godshalk has taken measures to control it. Ask Mr. Zurcher for other suggestions to do the work of the addressograph machine, which might be too big for Arboretum needs.
