Letter from Sterling Morton to C. E. Godshalk sharing his thoughts on acquiring the Herboth and Mulacek properties. Morton noticed a large ad in the Tribune for Valley View Estates with The Morton Arboretum featured in the foreground. He thinks the area may flood even with the new bridge and channel. The lots in the Skokie District flooded until Ickes got the Skokie Lagoons Project underway to improve the drainage. He gives his thoughts about the Herboth life tenancy deal. He is glad the housing project and the bridge at 53 are moving along. He talks about his frog and snail issues. They are getting their home ready to be part of a garden club tour.
