On Dec. 11th 1868, Lewis Carroll wrote the following letter to Dolly Argles,one of his child-friends :
My Dear Dolly,
I am going to send your papa a little present this christmas, which I daresay you may like to look at. It consists of some thin slices of dried vegetables that somebody has found a way of preparing so that they dont fall to pieces easily. They are marked in a sort of pattern with some chemical stuff or other, and fastened between sheets of pasteboard to preserve them. I believe the sort of thing isnt a new invention, but the markings of these are quite new. I inserted them myself...
No more at present from your loving friend,
C.L.Dodgson
Dodgson was Lewis Carroll'ls real name.
Can u gues what sort of gift Carrol sent to Dolly's father ?
It sounds like a book
