Date: June 15 1959Creator: Morton, Sterling
Type: Document
Description:Letter from Sterling Morton to Clarence E. Godshalk. The photos of Paul Morton's portrait are perfect. The old portrait of him hanging in the Equitable Boardroom "makes him look like a dandified, somewhat dilettante person" and Morton is sure they will use the new photo. His trees are in poor condition. The euonymus must either be replaced every spring or heating cables need to be installed in each box.
