Letter from C.E. Godshalk to Jean Cudahy saying he hopes the Christmas trees arrived in time. Everyone had a nice Christmas except for Miss Arthur who was called to Fort Wayne to attend to her aunt. Godshalk had a very happy Christmas at his house, and he thanks Mrs. Cudahy for the two antique plates she sent. About forty of their friends planned a surprise 25th wedding anniversary party for them at the Leland Hotel in Aurora. The Arboretum has completed the majority of their winter tree moving. Next they will work in the woods and get started on the outside restrooms. He has Loehman remodeling the sawhorses for the tables given to the Arboretum by the Garden Club of Illinois; they will be needed for the landscape class. Loehman is also working on the hog house which will be ready by farrowing season. He encloses correspondence from Mr. Sterling Morton. Mr. Dahlmeyer wanted to know if the Arboretum would help in taking action against Mr. Henderson; if he wins his case, the zoning laws in DuPage County may break down and someone may try to build a manufacturing plant near the Arboretum. He assumes her thoughts about the situation are the same as her brother's, but he doesn't want to do anything without her approval. He would like Mrs. Cudahy's approval to get in touch with Mr. Baker if necessary. He encloses the October and November reports. They should be pretty well supplied with materials sold at the information windows. He hopes to have all the materials needed for the two outside restrooms within a week. The dealer in Warrenville has promised the cement for when they need it. He hopes they can get the plumbing fixtures, another scarce item. He hopes she had a pleasant Christmas.
