1959/09/25: Sterling Morton to C. E. Godshalk (3.105070)
Date: September 25 1959Creator: Morton, Sterling
Type: Document
Description:Letter from Sterling Morton to C. E. Godshalk sharing information about his use of the Contax camera. Mrs. Morton has recovered from her digestive issues, but is now under the weather from another issue; they may not travel to Chicago on the 29th as planned. He used the slate or granite on his Lake Forest front driveway. It has a tendency to move under automobiles, but should stay put for foot traffic. It should have a good base under it. They have fine gravel on their paths in Santa Barbara, but it tends to grind up under traffic, including foot traffic. He asks Godshalk to put in small stakes outlining the proposed terrace. He agrees with Godshalk on where the opening in the wall should be. He is not pleased with the idea of using aluminum brackets on the concrete to hold the wooden treads of the proposed steps from the terrace outside the Rotunda. He offers alternative suggestions. It's perfectly all right with Morton if the revolving door extends into the Thornhill lobby. He is pleased the overpass is coming along. He didn't know they were building a swimming pool for staff when they built Arbor Lake; he hopes proper precautions have been taken to protect children. Jim Donnelly (Illinois Manufacturers' Association) send Morton an article from the Lisle "Advertiser" that spoke nicely about the Arboretum. Morton would like any additional articles in the series sent to him. He has written to Godshalk about the Amsterdam exhibit; he will make his contribution from his personal funds.

1961/01/06: C. E. Godshalk to Sterling Morton (3.86093)
Date: January 6 1961Creator: Godshalk, Clarence E.
Type: Document
Description:Letter from C. E. Godshalk to Sterling Morton stating they are moving pines and Douglas fir to their new locations on the settling basin hills. He updates him on the progress being made on installing the cyclone fence. The new entry-way has been installed at Thornhill, replacing the revolving door. They are finishing up the control houses, and Godshalk plans to use them pass out material to visitors. Two men are widening the paths and ensuring the bridges are in repair and will accommodate a Cushman. They will remove the plants that will not fit in the new entrance garden, and he will send Morton sketches of the entrance garden for him to study. Godshalk will soon send the books to Arbor Lodge. Arnie has been working on the apartments, but his best helper is out due to surgery for throat cancer.
