1932/12/15: C. E. Godshalk to Joy Morton (3.101388)
Date: December 15 1932Creator: Godshalk, Clarence E.
Type: Document
Description:Letter from C.E. Godshalk to Joy Morton enclosing a copy of a letter received from Mr. Stout. They started moving evergreens to the triangle near the new bridge. As long as the weather remains cold, he can manage with a crew of 12 men. They expect to soon begin cutting the ice on Lake Marmo which is seven inches thick. He asks Morton if he has any objection to Godshalk taking his family on their usual holiday vacation.
The attached letter (dated 12/12/1932) says the area of the satin moth quarantine in Maine has been extended to include the nursery of the Oxford Paper Company, so they will probably not be able to ship the cuttings this year.

Date: March 6 1929Creator: Godshalk, Clarence E.
Type: Document
Description:Letter from C. E. Godshalk to Joy Morton saying Fred Berg seemed quite pleased to be scolded by Morton. He is getting around rather well. The weather is spring-like, but as the ground is still frozen, they are unable to plant. They have considerable trimming and burning of brush yet to do. The men are moving larches and pines for the background of the flower garden. They are also pruning. Chas Schroeder has been down several times to ask for phosphate for the land he left idle last summer. Fred Berg also wants phosphate for the big hill. Should he buy a car and divide it between the two?
He has two good candidates for the assistant in botanical work position. He is enclosing copies of letters of their qualifications. Mr. Kammerer is stopping by today. He would like Morton's approval to offer the job to one of them for the salary offered to Mr. Weimer. He includes a message from Mrs. Barnet to Mrs. Morton.

Type: Document
Description:Letter from C. E. Godshalk to Joy Morton saying the weather is quite spring-like. They have finished moving the pines and larches and are now moving the crabapples and hawthorns to the flower garden. There is brush to burn and raking to do on the residence lawn. Fred Berg seems to be completely recovered. There have been five calves born; one was sold to Frank Meyer. He would like to hire Kamerer (sic) who is not as scientifically trained as the other candidates, but he will accept a lower salary. Mr. Marts and Mr. Steere are working towards their doctorates and would not accept the salary offered. Morton's new chauffeur's wife liked the cottage, and they will move in April 1. The grape vines are trimmed and tied up, and Mr. Bain will loan them his power sprayer.

Date: March 19 1929Creator: Godshalk, Clarence E.
Type: Document
Description:Letter from C. E. Godshalk to Joy Morton saying he was glad to get his telegram telling him to hire Kammerer. He goes on to list Kammerer's qualifications. Godshalk is having Kammerer check the Arboretum's card catalog with Van Gemert's to insure the accuracy of Arboretum records. He had Kammerer checking up on winter damage with him and is also making notes on the plants that have the best spring bark color. He wants to highlight these plants in the first bulletin. He would also like to include a list of plants rabbits prefer, so readers know which ones to protect. At the Arboretum, winter weather damage was slight, but rabbit damage was heavy. Everyone at the Arboretum seems to enjoy his work; he has given the men responsibilities in addition to their regular work freeing up Godshalk to study plant material. He has been testing the ground for frost, but it is still too sticky to work in. They are trimming dead branches and burning brush. They will continue to move the crabapples and hawthornes when the soil is drier. He updates him on the dairy operation. Mr. Bixby sent him a letter saying the nut trees are dug and will be sent within a few days.

Date: April 3 1929Creator: Godshalk, Clarence E.
Type: Document
Description:Letter from C. E. Godshalk to Joy Morton telling him about the heavy rain and wind the Arboretum experienced. Every low spot was filled with water, and water was over both roads north of the cement hedge near his house. He was worried about the river dam, but they did not have to do any sand bagging. Considerable road repair will need to be done on the east side. They have been transplanting from the nursery and thinning existing plantings using 24 men. The ground is still too wet for plowing and discing. Kammerer is in charge of the men digging in the nursery and in Van Gemert's beds; these plants will be added to the botanical and geographical groups. Penskofer and several straw bosses are in charge of the men doing the planting. He ordered the small trees for Pete Hardy's plantings. The new chauffeur and his wife moved in, and Godshalk had him clean and grease the Ford. He is a little afraid Price, the chauffeur, while probably a good driver, is not much of a mechanic. He will have White help him with the work on the Dodge. They will have the material ready for the first bulletin by the time Morton returns.

[1932]: [C. E. Godshalk] to Joy Morton (3.101469)
Date: circa 1932Creator: Godshalk, Clarence E.
Type: Document
Description:Letter from [C. E. Godshalk] to Joy Morton saying they took a chance on the weather and dug larches and pines to transplant around Puffer Lake and on Pine Hill. The birds have started to return. The crew has been grubbing out undergrowth on Pine and Hemlock Hills. They are also cutting down dead trees, burning brush, and trimming second growth. They are pruning the orchards and the grapes. He also expects to plant more elms. The men are all doing good work. The highway gangs have been working all week grading along the river. He found a new market for the Mey Farm grain and hay with the Lisle men he has hired as well as other customers. He then details the prices he is getting for the grains and hay. He shares what he plans to plant on the farm this year. He hopes Morton and Mrs. Morton are enjoying Mexico City.

Date: January 11 1928Creator: Godshalk, Clarence E.
Type: Document
Description:Letter from Clarence E. Godshalk to Joy Morton. He sent some photos recently. Now he is working on inventories and closing the books at the end of the year. Jim [?] will leave and Miss Maxfield will start the 1928 bookkeeping. The new gardener, Mr. Tromp, was very highly credentialed from Lake Forest. He brought cuttings with him from the Lamont Estate. He is an energetic worker and is getting along fine with Van Gemert, especially as both are "Hollanders". Our ice is all cut and was put up before this warm spell has made it soft and porous. We are cutting and hauling in wood as fast as we can. The ground is pretty slushy. We'll wait for cold weather to transplant the evergreens. The dairy production has increased. Peter Jargick didn't go to work for Morkrum, but is driving for a man in LaGrange who sprained his ankle. There seems to be no damage from rabbits to our plants. With the snow melting they cannot reach over our protective wires. Mary Alice is growing and repeating any word we tell her. She is walking up and down stairs. Mr. Tate mentioned that he sold 15 acres west of Joliet Road for $1000 per acre. He hopes Morton's rheumatism improves. Mrs. Barnet writes that the weather in Florida is chilly.

Date: January 26 1928Creator: Godshalk, Clarence E.
Type: Document
Description:Letter from Clarence E. Godshalk to Joy Morton. They are moving many evergreens, as weather permits. Pine Hill is looking very different. Four men can move 8-10 trees a day. Burnside is very ill with typhoid fever, causing high temperature, irregular heartbeat, and intestinal hemorrhaging. He has a nurse helping him. Now his family has been vaccinated against typhoid. Godshalk had testing done on all of the milk and water, including Lake Marmo and streams. The test of the stream through the Japanese Gardens is questionable. He will run it again. Men reported that Burnside drank from that stream. Van Gemert's place of business is doing well. Charles Schroeder has arranged for a cattle sale on January 31. He was upset because Schroeder didn't clear the date with us, but we'll be glad to have an end to this. He has advertised it well, so there should be lots of bidders.

Description:Letter from Clarence E. Godshalk to Joy Morton. Burnsides is slowly progressing from his typhoid fever. His doctors think it might take two months recovery. He describes the tree moving they have just completed: pines for Pine Hill and larches that were blocking the view of Lake Marmo. The men are now working in the woods, clearing out the undesirable and dead trees. It is making such an improvement in the woods.

Description:Letter from [Clarence E. Godshalk] to Joy Morton. He is glad that Morton approved of the evergreen planting above the cactus pit. It may offer an interesting suggestion to visitors. They are starting to plant, although these is still frost below 6 inches. They will move larches from the residence orchard to Puffer Lake. Teuscher has many plants in the nursery to move out. De Vos is readying his vegetable plot. He expects to have spinach by the time they arrive. He has been grading the roads west of Joliet Road. Those on the east side are dry. He hopes to get wood hauled out before the leaves make it harder to find. He expects they will have all of the wood sold by the fall. He enjoyed riding on the old grader; last year it upset his appendix. Burnsides is his grader man, but he has been sick. He hopes to have lots planted when they return.
