1960/02/18: Sterling Morton to Clarence E. Godshalk (3.105089)
Date: February 18 1960Creator: Morton, Sterling
Type: Document
Description:Letter from Sterling Morton to Clarence E. Godshalk. Thanks for sending the flowers to the funeral of Mrs. Barnett. He will reimburse for the flowers. Do not burn the old letters from Grandfather [J. Sterling Morton]. He will sort through them. Some have historical value and should be sent to the Nebraska Historical Society where the rest of his papers are. Morton remembers rescuing an old letter from William Jennings Bryan to his Grandfather, asking if Nebraska was a good place for a young lawyer. Glad to see the contractor wants 50,000 yards of fill. This should take Lake Marmo deep enough to prevent the current scum formation. It should also create a settling basin to catch silt. Godshalk has authorization to offer the contractor half the amount they estimated to clean the lake with a drag line.
