Waldo praising Washington and reading a patriotic psalm at Westfield.
A volume given to General Washington in 1707 by Thomas Lord Erskine contains a note praising Washington. The note expresses reverence for his life devoted to the happiness of the world and asks God to grant him a long, serene evening.
The passage speaks of a tender farewell filled with sweetness and gratitude. It questions lingering good nights and cherishes whispered words as emblems of peace. It envisions eternal harmony as happy spirits meet and part in the city of God.

The article cites a late North American Review claim of ancient Mexican cypresses including a Montezuma tree with a forty five foot girth and a much larger Santa Maria del Thule specimen.
