Type: Document
Description:Letter from C. E. Godshalk to Sterling Morton saying Mr. and Mrs. Zurcher were out for the day, and the three of them checked over many things to be done before the 27th. The fire door will be here Wednesday. It looks like Morton's tree has the usual symptoms of Dutch elm disease; they are running a culture. The road blacktop patching is complete, so now the men will be able to grade and seed around the new building. They will move into the laboratory this week. He details the work that still needs to be done on the lecture room. The new water system is supposed to be completed by the 19th, but he doesn't see how it will be done. He is giving Dr. Salins' treatment plan for Dutch elm disease a try; so far it has proved nothing. The Natural History Survey have openly labeled Salins a quack. The invitations for the 27th are being mailed.
