Letter and photograph of Alfred, Lord Tennyson, 1867, n.d.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/31084221

In an 1867 August 11 letter from Farringford, Tennyson writes to Mrs. Joseph Dalton Hooker, wife of the director of Kew Gardens, about a problem in William Selwyns's Latin translation of Enoch Arden. Selwyn needs to know whether a certain flower is found in the South Polynesian Islands. Tennyson believes Dr. Hooker would be more helpful than himself and refers Mrs. Hooker to a passage in a book by William Ellis. An undated sepia carte-de-visite of Tennyson is included.
