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."
