| Description: |
Letter from William Mitten to his daughter (Annie W?) from Hurstpierpoint, 9 Aug 1896, re her journey (to Switzerland?) arrival and planting of flowers from her, the identity and growing conditions of plants including pulsatilla, campanula, anemone vernalis, anemone baldensis, and plants found around Zermatt, the Rhone glacier and Wengern, asking her to collect seeds of any dandelion-like plants and purple vetch; visit by aunts Sally and Lizzy; new local burial grounds. Place: Hurstpierpoint West Sussex Switzerland Notes: When first listed this was in a brown cardboard box in the form of a book, titled "Letters" on spine, containing miscellaneous apparently unrelated letters and photos; it seems more appropriate here. |
