LETTER I I.i 



To the same. 



N the court of Norton farm-house, a manor 

 farm to the north-west of the village, on the 

 white malm, stood within these twenty years 

 a broad-leaved elm, 2 or wych hazel, uhnus 

 folio latissimo scabro of Ray, which, though 

 it had lost a considerable leading bough in 

 the great storm in the year 1703, equal to a 

 moderate tree, yet, when felled, contained eight loads of 

 timber ; and, being too bulky for a carriage, was sawn off at 

 seven feet above the butt, where it measured near eight feet
