1928/03/30: Clarence E. Godshalk to Joy Morotn (3.101504)
Creator: Godshalk, Clarence E.
Type: Document
Description:Letter from Clarence E. Godshalk to Joy Morton in Palm Beach, Florida. Planting work has been hampered by rain, snow and low temperatures. Last week was very warm, though. Margaret's sister drove through from Mt. Pleasant, Michigan. Her drive home was complicated by snow. Teuscher, vanGomert and Godshalk concluded that Mr. Palmer's trip to the Davis Mountains in Texas is of benefit to the botanical world, but not necessarily to the Arboretum. Some herbarium specimens could be used in exchange. Palmer thinks the trip will cost him $850-$900. Please let us know how much of this you would like to pay. We are planting small pines above the cactus pit and the firs as you approved. We are anxious for your return.
