Description:Letter from C. E. Godshalk to Sterling Morton presenting his case for hiring Mr. Sharpless. While Morton feels Sharpless may be getting too old to climb, and he has reservations Sharpless' current work for the forest preserve district may be patronage, Godshalk believes he is the best person for the job. He lists Sharpless' many qualifications and the recommendations Godshalk has received from many different people. Sharpless is willing to use his accumulated leave for a trial at the Arboretum. Godshalk plans to hire a recent high school graduate to be trained in climbing by Sharpless while Sharpless performs many other duties.
