about this place, which I wish you to see^ for it is quite a 
curiosity. It is an elm of considerable size : one of the main 
branches^ apparently the leading limb^ has been partly broken 
off; but being held by the under part^ only inclines toward 
the ground^ without touching it ; from this broken bough 
three vigorous and branchy shoots have arisen at some dis- 
tance from each other^ presenting the curious appearance of 
three young trees growing in the air. We shall come to it 
soon^ if we have not passed it unobserved. Yonder it is^ on 
the left hand side of the road. 
SINGULAR ELM.
