A propos de cet article

Both items in good condition, with light signs of age. The card, with postmarks, is addressed to 'Austin Dobson Esq | 75 Eaton Rise | Ealing | W.' The letter is also to Dobson, but is only addressed 'Dear Sir'. In the card he reports that 'The old oak in the forest is now in ruins and quite dead. It has been surrounded with a railing and a young tree planted by its side.' He offers to send a photograph, and asks for 'anthing about my parish which you may publish'. In the letter he states that, having recovered Dobson's address from the Rector of Little Hallingbury, he is sending a view of 'the ancient "Broad Oak" in Hatfield Forest', and repeats the news regarding its present state.
