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."
