Description:Letter from C.E. Godshalk to Jean Morton Cudahy thanking her for the chafing dish. They celebrated Christmas on the 23rd with Mary Alice and her family and spent Christmas with his mother in Three Rivers. There is the most snow he has ever seen at the Arboretum. The west side roads are open, and the Administration Building parking lot is open. The east side road is only open until the top of the first hill. The snow along the roads is four feet high. The mild weather of the past few days is letting the snow settle, making it easier to get around in the woods. The men have spent most of their time shoveling snow, aside from moving some trees. Jim came in on Saturday night. Godshalk is enclosing the October and November statements. The work at Nordine's house is nearly complete, going slightly over budget. Mrs. Nordine is very pleased. Classes start a week from tonight. They shall have large classes again. He hopes she had a happy Christmas and Mary Cudahy is well. Mr. Miskelly will call on her in Florida; he got such a thrill talking to her this fall.

Description:Letter from Clarence E. Godshalk to Jean M. Cudahy. The Jones family are pleased with the move to the Johnson House. Play yard fencing will be put up next week. There could be other uses for the previous Jones house, instead of tearing it down. Spring weather is bringing good crowds viewing the exhibits. They are spreading limestone and fertilizer, but it's too early to begin planting. Geese are flying north. Bob Banghart read that radio beams which guide airliners interrupt the flight formations of geese. He saw a flock suddenly get out of formation, but then they regrouped. Lowell is in Mississippi and Louisiana viewing azalea blooms. Mrs. Watts is going to Denver and taking slides with her of some rare books. Mr. Miskelly will call her when he returns to Florida.
