Date: December 7 1956Creator: Morton, Sterling
Type: Document
Description:Letter from Sterling Morton to Clarence E. Godshalk. On his doctor's orders, he was not permitted to drive to the Arboretum, share his slides and drive home. He hopes that everyone enjoyed the Christmas party. With reference to the herbarium, considering all the Arboretum has undertaken, Morton agrees that they should not commit to gathering materials beyond the local plants. However, he believes that "this is a particularly valuable collection as an addition to the Natural History Museum." He has donated there in the past, but I don't care to stand the whole cost of this addition to their collection."

Date: February 7 1929Creator: Godshalk, Clarence E.
Type: Document
Description:Letter from Clarence E. Godshalk to Joy Morton. Plant specimens from the E. J. Palmer collecting trip in southwestern Texas that were sent to Mr. Teuscher are very good. "Due to our decision to make the herbarium contain only plants grown in our Arboretum, the specimens collected in Texas are of no value to us." "We'll keep the collection until we decide on the best means of disposal." Mr. Teuscher says that you ok'd the $500 share of the trip, so it should be paid. "I do not think Morton Arboretum has derived any direct benefit from the trip, but the expedition has been beneficial to botanical science in general."
