Date: September 18 1958Creator: Morton, Sterling
Type: Document
Description:Letter from Sterling Morton to C. E. Godshalk enclosing a flower, twig, and leaves of an unknown tree. He states he is willing to donate to the California [Forest and Range Experiment Station] for them to purchase land, but the donation will have to wait until he returns from Europe. He is glad Mrs. Watts had a good trip. Since Mrs. Morton is giving a lecture on European Pubic Gardens, perhaps she can borrow some of her slides. He infers the housing matter is going well, and he is sure he will see great changes. He suggests that Godshalk visit the arboretums in New York and New England before the conference; the weather will be better. He briefly goes over the itinerary of the rest of his trip and return home.

Description:Letter from Clarence E. Godshalk to C. J. Adams. He encloses an inventory of equipment and valuations, with the exception of cars and trucks which are included on their own policy. The insurance coverage is for $25,000. He placed full value on items recently purchased, and a lower valuation on older items. He keeps an updated list for the auditors, and he will now include Adams to receive the list. Auditors asked him for an updated list of farm equipment, but not for the Arboretum equipment because it is not operated for profit and depreciation on such equipment was not considered.
