1945/01/26: C. E. Godshalk to Joseph Cudahy and Jean Morton Cudahy (3.99608)
Date: January 26 1945Creator: Godshalk, Clarence E.
Type: Document
Description:Letter from C. E. Godshalk to Joseph and Jean Morton Cudahy stating he would try Jones as bookkeeper. They had agreed he be paid an extra $25 per month for the bookkeeping. Most of the bookkeeping typing will be eliminated when they dispose of the pure bred business. Perhaps Miss Rasch can handle the petty cash to cut down on the interruptions during the day. Mrs. Jones, while improving, is still confined at home, but is doing the urgent typing for Mrs. Watts.

1945/01/23: Joseph Cudahy to C. E Godshalk (3.99610)
Date: January 23 1945Creator: Cudahy, Joseph M.
Type: Document
Description:Letter from Joseph Cudahy to C. E. Godshalk saying that the road, bridge, and traffic situation will have to await the Cudahy's return. They are thinking of hiring a traffic expert at that time. The Arboretum's budget is double what it was ten years ago, and serious consideration must be given to future expenditures. There will be no tea room or provision for feeding people on the Arboretum's grounds. If Mrs. Brossman wishes to establish a restaurant, it must not be on Arboretum property, and the Arboretum will not help fund or encourage this enterprise. They do not propose to erect any buildings to provide for a nature school. No commitment has been made regarding future Flower Shows on Thornhill grounds. The one they did host caused a great deal of work for Arboretum employees and was not as financially successful as the Illinois Garden Club expected. There is no reason for the Arboretum to get into animal husbandry or 4H. They acquired the farm lands to protect the privacy of the Arboretum. He would like the Arboretum to dispose of the pure bred hogs. Farming should be kept to growing crops, perhaps later on feeding the crops to steers. The only housing they are interested in building is houses for employees located in strategic locations in the Arboretum to help protect it. They would only approve farm buildings on Warrenville Road when it is absolutely necessary to protect Arboretum equipment. The landing field for airplanes is out of the question. They are interested in Godshalk's ideas on future development, but suggest they be confined to trees and woody plants and to scientific work with them. The Cudahys are disappointed that Godshalk feels Jones cannot handle the bookkeeping. If Jones does the label work and Miss Rasch and Mrs. Jones divide the bookkeeping, there will not be any increase in pay. They are sorry to learn Mrs. Jones has been ill and wonder whether she will be able to satisfactorily continue with her work in the future.

1945/01/16: C. E. Godshalk to Joseph Cudahy and Jean Morton Cudahy (3.99611)
Date: January 16 1945Creator: Godshalk, Clarence E.
Type: Document
Description:Letter from C. E. Godshalk to Joseph and Jean Morton Cudahy saying he has been doing the bookkeeping, with Miss Rasch doing any typing involved. He is happy he learned the new bookkeeping system before he passes it over to anyone else. He is hesitant to let Jones do the bookkeeping in addition to his janitorial duties because Jones is slow, can't type, and there are many interruptions during the day which would cause people to have to look for Jones. He proposes Miss Rasch handle the bookkeeping, turning over her work on the bulletin subscriptions to Mrs. Jones. If Jones has extra time, Godshalk suggests he work on labels or in the herbarium, work he could do as time permits. He also updates them on Mrs. Jones health issues.
