1928/01/29: Joy Morton to Clarence E. Godshalk (3.101485)
Date: January 29 1928Creator: Morton, Joy
Type: Document
Description:Letter from Joy Morton to Clarence E. Godshalk. Morton would like to fund botanist E. J. Palmer's research trip to the Davis Mountains, Texas. He has notified Palmer and needs Godshalk's help to arrange the payments. Palmer will drive his own car, so that should cut down on the expenses. Palmer asked if he could do some work for Morton Arboretum, but Teuscher did not reply because of unsettled conditions at Arnold Arboretum due to Dr. Sargent's death. Palmer produced a partial account in a letter in May, 1927. This trip would finish that research.

Date: February 23 1954Creator: Morton, Sterling
Type: Document
Description:Letter from Sterling Morton to Clarence E. Godshalk. He is thanking Godshalk for clarifying his father's relationship with Mr. Simonds. He will make minor reference to him in the article that he is revising.

1954/02/23: Sterling Morton to Clarence E. Godshalk (3.101915)
Date: February 23 1954Creator: Morton, Sterling
Type: Document
Description:Letter from Sterling Morton to Clarence E. Godshalk. For the article he is revising, he will mention the impact that Professor Sargent had on his father and the Arboretum plans. He acknowledges that his father and Mr. Symonds disagreed on some matters, and so will place less emphasis on that contribution. He notes that Sargent cautioned Joy Morton against creating a private park, but to keep in mind the basic purpose. He feels the idea of clearing out some woods to create a demonstration home site will have "extreme value to the people in our general region."

The interview focuses on Hassert's observations of how the Sterling Morton Library has developed during her employment at The Morton Arboretum, which began in 1986. Topics include changes to the library's physical space, such as the construction of the Special Collections addition and the library's collections. Hassert also discusses library exhibits and events, like the Leafing Through The Pages book discussion group as well as major projects such as the retrospective cataloging project and the launch of ACORN (Arboretum COllections and Resources Nexus).
1955/03/29: Sterling Morton to C. E. Godshalk (3.104945)
Date: March 29 1955Creator: Morton, Sterling
Type: Document
Description:Letter from Sterling Morton to C. E. Godshalk sharing his reaction to Mr. Tikalsky's proposal about adding peonies to the Arboretum. He is sending Tikalsky's proposal, along with a copy of this letter, to Mrs. Zurcher who will distribute them to the other trustees. Morton's reaction is unfavorable since the Arboretum was created for woody plants, and peonies are perennials which seem out of line with the Arboretum's purpose. The trustees need to decide whether or not they want to get into perennial gardens as well as woody plants.
