1959/01/19: C. E. Godshalk to Sterling Morton (3.86057)
Date: January 19 1959Creator: Godshalk, Clarence E.
Type: Document
Description:Letter from C. E. Godshalk to Sterling Morton saying the weather has been cold, not good for those attending Arboretum classes, two of whom had to wait for a tow truck after class, but the classes are well attended. They have finished moving the large trees around Arbor Lake and will plant the shrubs around the lake this spring. They have started the landscaping around Arbordale, and the problems with the houses have been resolved. He will have Morton's secretary send him his slides as requested. They met with Northern Illinois Gas employees to finalize the position of the gas main, and it looks like they will follow the Arboretum's suggested route. The Route 53 project is ready for bids and should begin in the spring.

1959/05/20: C. E. Godshalk to Sterling Morton (3.86065)
Date: May 20 1959Creator: Godshalk, Clarence E.
Type: Document
Description:Letter from C. E. Godshalk to Sterling Morton clarifying that in the recent reports from Messers Keith and Longenecker that many of the ideas for the materials used in Arbordale were from Lowell's bulletins and plant material lectures rather than Lowell taking those ideas from Arbordale. Tony did a lot of the research and study on the plant groupings. Generally the reports made good points. Arboretum staff looked at the locusts in front of the Morton Salt Building; they will need to be cut back severely. They will also replace the Euonymus vegetus on the terrace at the same time.
