Type: Document
Description:Letter from Joy Morton, in Phoenix, to Clarence E. Godshalk. He is pleased that the warmer weather in Chicago has allowed good progress on planting. "It is particularly good to know that you have made a start on the big hill. That will be the beginning of "Arboretum Mountain." We have to make it very impressive, so you can put in as many trees as you have. Conifers, a few poplars and Chinese elms would be alright." After the trees are established the road can be located. He's glad to hear that Jimmy is over his chicken pox. Tell Kerth to write about the farm conditions. They will return to Chicago by April.
