Description:Letter from C. E. Godshalk to Joy Morton updating him on events at the Arboretum. Since the soil is finally drying, Berg plowed all day yesterday. They are plowing the May place today. If they get good weather, a lot of planting will be done in the next two weeks. He laid off Valentine for a month without pay due to his drunken sprees. He believes Valentine will do most anything to keep his job. Tromp is busy in the cold frames. Price is getting the cars cleaned and greased for Morton's return. Emil is helping with the floors at the house. Fred Berg went to the hospital yesterday; nothing will be done except to make Berg comfortable until his doctor has recovered from an illness in a few days. Mary Alice and Jimmie are having a great time playing outside. He is enclosing some photos of the last snow storm. Everyone is anxious for Morton's return.
