HOWITT
(William, 1792-1879, Author)
Fine Autograph Letter Signed to Alfred Ellis,
promising to send him "the infant Walnut tree ... which sprung up this last spring. I gathered the nut and two others which I sent down to Eleanor, but of the fate of which I have not yet heard - from the tree called Pascal's walnut-tree at Port-Royal in the Autumn of 1863 .. Pascal, the author of the beautiful Pensées and the vanquisher of the Jesuits, planted the tree ... Other mementos remain of Nieal Arnold and the rest. Pascal's tree stands between the cemetery - the scene ... where the Institution was so barbarously destroyed, and beautiful spring of La Mere Angelique. As a walnut-tree, independent of the associations ... it is the first walnut-tree I ever saw and bears fine, large fruit ..." and he continues at length about trees and his daughter, who will also bring "a little packet of birch seed collected at Årsten ... the native home of miss Bremer ....", 4 sides 8vo., Highgate, 9th November
