Letter from Sterling Morton to Clarence E. Godshalk. He's pleased to read of the variety of programs and classes planned for the spring. Mrs. Watson (?Watts) always draws a crowd. He is interested in the plans around Arbor Lake. He would like to review the drawings for the changes around the terrace with Mrs. Zurcher and Godshalk in person. He offers observations and suggestions to improve the precast pebble slabs, with sandblasting later to better showcase the pebbles. With work beginning April 1 on Route 53 and taking 5 months, this is time to discuss admission charges and toll gates, as he mentioned to the Trustees. He discusses his camera settings and photos of his trip to Longwood Gardens. It's important to settle the Herboth matter before they start building a lake. He is willing to purchase their land and give them life interest in the land. He gives a history of J. Sterling Morton High School and Morton Park.
