Tree blew down in my woods (that were) in 1852.

Twelve feet and a half round, fair girth;--nine feet, where I got my section, higher up.

This is a wedge, going to the centre, of the general shape of a slice of apple-pie in a large and not opulent family.

Length, about eighteen inches.

I have studied the growth of this tree by its rings, and it is curious.
