in margin: Fig Trees V? words on opposite side bleed through paper? 01281 Kilmarnock 16th Dec. 1887. Dear Mr. Muir
When I had the pleasure of visiting you my attention was directed by you to a most magnificent fig tree, you at the same time
mentioned that as a shade tree the fig is superior to all the trees that grow in California. Would it be too much to ask if
you would be so kind as supply me with the measurements of the tree girth?
