THE COTTON TREE.
Nassaa, N. P.
April 1 mIi, :
Dear Mr. Editor:
I wonder whether "Observer"
will H" generous enough t" notice
the "I >\a Cotton Tree." Vnyone
can ea lily ee that it is in the glory
of youth again, Evi n the dry
branches that all ttio ight dea
putting "ut lovely foliage.
Nowwho is the saviour of the
tree ? Sir William I ?Vey Wilwn,
who. on his own initiative intet
viewed Mr. Cl ivel and
ring
last year, with what good results
we <;in all see. An act of that
kind, while not red by the
)i king is enough to ad
ig glorj to his name.
Yours trulv,
AN'l [-OBSERVER.
