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.
