. Gossip from Esquesing (Letters to Editor):
Having had occasion lately to visit the occidental regions of Canada, it may not be deemed uninterteresting to many of your readers, who have relatives in the Western Townships, to pursue a conversation of the impressions of one, who, for the first time, has seen the "far West".
I committed myself to the tender mercies of the Grand Truck Railway ... sweltering under the sun & drought of the driest June ever experience in the interior parts of Canada. My first impression was that the hardwood timber principally composed of Elm, Maple & beech was of immense size. The first named was really tremendous. Some of the sticks are reported to be less then 7 feet in diameter, & as an experienced chopper assured me, that it took a good half of a winter day to lay one of those proud monarchs of the forest "level with the ground". As to the maples I have seen as large in Erin & I am assured, that even some of them as large in Erin & am assured that even some of the elms of that Township, which have long ere now passed into ashes, would have vied in size with the surviving giants of Wawanosh Twp. Yours, G., July 11, 1864.
