Description:Letter from Sterling Morton to C. E. Godshalk thanking Godshalk for the excellent picture of his uncle Paul. He hopes to use it to create a portrait of his uncle to replace the one for the Equitable which he doesn't like at all. He is sorry he didn't get out to the Arboretum, but he was ill. He went over the revised plans with great care with Mr. Zurcher, and he doesn't see any reason for further changes and hopes construction will get underway shortly. He talks about the progress on the construction of his house and his plans for landscaping the property.

1959/06/15: Sterling Morton to Clarence E. Godshalk (3.105058)
Date: June 15 1959Creator: Morton, Sterling
Type: Document
Description:Letter from Sterling Morton to Clarence E. Godshalk. The photos of Paul Morton's portrait are perfect. The old portrait of him hanging in the Equitable Boardroom "makes him look like a dandified, somewhat dilettante person" and Morton is sure they will use the new photo. His trees are in poor condition. The euonymus must either be replaced every spring or heating cables need to be installed in each box.
