Letter from Sterling Morton to Clarence E. Godshalk. He is pleased to hear that the Christmas Party was such a success. He can bring his travel slides to the summer picnic instead. Suzette mentioned the wonderful talk that Arnold gave. Morton appreciated the work ethic of the men Godshalk brought to help at his house [Lake Forest]. He inserts that if the President gets his troop authorizations we are sure to have a war, and other political comments. He is pleased that the tree planting at the house is moving along well,  and "this will be a way to show people how to screen off noise and motion."  Godshalk can get the key to the gate from the Zurchers, next door. Mr. Ryerson spoke of the wonderful work Mrs. Watts did on Channel 11. He doesn't want her to get too involved for fear she will not keep up with her Morton Arboretum duties. He's sure the person who would watch Mrs. Watts on TV is looking for information and not entertainment. He comments that he no longer feels like doing the brick-laying, plumbing, etc, but is content to do some occasional pruning.
