Description:Letter from E. L. Kammerer to Mrs. Zurcher thanking her for the very generous check she sent to be used to establish a special fund to purchase rare botanical books in memory of her father.

Date: April 17 1962Creator: Godshalk, Clarence E.
Type: Document
Description:Letter from C. E. Godshalk to Myrtle (Mrs. Howard) Shaughnessy stating he hasn't contacted her about the memorial tree because the new board chairman, Mrs. Zurcher, feels the Arboretum should not accept memorial trees due to the necessity of continuing maintenance. He suggests that instead of a memorial tree, Mrs. Mulloy's friends may choose to contribute to a memorial book fund for the purchase of rare books for the library. Books purchased from this fund will be marked so they may be identified. The new library will be opened and dedicated on Arbor Day the next spring. Since talking to Mrs. Shaughnessy, Godshalk and a friend bought 35 acres in Michigan.

Date: July 2 1962Creator: Godshalk, Clarence E.
Type: Document
Description:Letter from C. E. Godshalk to Suzette Morton Zurcher stating all of them are anxious to learn about her observations of Russia. He and Margaret just returned from a ten-day stay up north, taking Mary Alice's three younger children with them. During the visit, lightning came in on the telephone of the main cabin and burned out the kitchen and smoked up the entire cabin. Luckily, the fire put itself out. Fortunately, they could stay in their guest cabin until the contractor is able to make repairs. Ed told Godshalk last fall that he could take two months of vacation, and it looks like he'll need to use it this year to get the cabin fixed up. Godshalk updates her on the progress being made on her home and her caretaker's home. He also updates her about the progress being made on his new home. Lowell had a wonderful trip and is anxiously awaiting his slides. Lowell is enthusiastic about adding Mrs. Moulton as a member of the staff. They have been doing mowing, pruning, and general clean up work at the Arboretum. They will work on lowering the hill in front of her place, so she gets a better view of the lake. The also want to get started on the Thornhill parking, do some roadwork, and complete some fencing around the new Slusser land.

He shares the titles of the books received and those he particularly liked. He just learned about the possibility of hiring Mrs. Moulton. He has known Mrs. Moulton for a long time, and he feels she has many desirable qualifications which would be of value to the Arboretum. While they still need professional library assistance until the cataloging is complete, he feels once they are organized she could be of great help
