DescriptionLetter from Sterling Morton to C.E. Godshalk stating he hopes Godshalk's expectations with respect to the gravel and fill sale will work out, giving the Arboretum a lake and some extra funds for road improvements at the Arboretum. If the construction workers do not put up a fence, Morton expects Godshalk will need to keep a man working in the area to keep the heavy machinery off Arboretum property. He is happy to hear Godshalk is in the house moving business and that all the plants have been moved to Lake Forest. Morton wonders about Godshalk's remark about many entrances after the clover-leaf is put in; Morton had the impression that the housing area would be fenced off from the rest of the Arboretum. They should give careful thought before adopting an admission plan. He is not a fan of an admission fee, but believes people should be charged for classes. The list of slides looks interesting. He likes the seasonal arrangement. Morton will add some autumn photos of his own. The Contraflex is a nice machine, especially for close-ups.
