1952/02/26: Clarence E. Godshalk to Jean M. Cudahy (3.85976)
Date: February 26 1952Creator: Godshalk, Clarence E.
Type: Document
Description:Letter from Clarence E. Godshalk to Jean M. Cudahy. With Mrs. Watts' agreement, he has delayed holding a nature camp at the bird sanctuary this year. Once the Myers move out of the apartment of the Administration Building, Johnson will move in. Les Plumb wants to move into Johnson's house but it could be too big for them. The Jones family would be a better fit for the Johnson house. The existing Jones house is in bad repair and might be taken down to improve the visual approach to Thornhill. They could give Jones an allotment for the extra coal which the larger Johnson house would use. Work that Mrs. Jones needs could be taken to her from the Thornhill office. They have 13 year round men, although the budget allows for 15.
