Letter from [John Wister] to Jean Morton Cudahy asking her, and the Morton Arboretum, to help preserve a beautiful strip of the New Jersey coast line from development, a conservation project being undertaken by Dr. George H. Shull of Princeton and Dr. Richard Pough of the Natural History Museum of New York. It is in a general way a coastal version of the pine barrens. John Fogg of the University of Pennsylvania botany department is also interested in the project. Dr. Robbia [Robbins] and Dr. Avery of the New York and Brooklyn Botanical Gardens have officially agreed to help in any way they could. Wister believes Mrs. Cudahy's support will help in showing the national significance of the place, so he is giving her name to Dr. Shull and hopes she will consider the matter favorably.
