Included are 2 note cards inside an envelope and one letter from his Connecticut farm in1973, signed and addressed by Hal Borland to his friend Ruth Tinker discussing gardening, the environment and cooking. A few excerpts: "Thanks for your thoughtful letter about the environmental problems and the stuff we eat. The farther we get from the land, the worse off we are. But try to tell those who are in charge! "Get away from the land! You are underprivileged there!" And such rot.But as you say, even the birds turn beggar after being hand-fed long enough. Maybe we don't deserve more than what we've got." "Dear Ruth Tinker! Thanks for your good letter. have the Scully book, and several others on weeds, wild plants and edibles, but not the Fernald-Kinsey, though those names ring very familiar I must have something by them, individually. Anyway. We had some top-bunching onions, given to us by my mother in Colorado, but they died out. Winter killed, we thought. And we had a small stand of Jerusalem artichokes, which also died out -- I didn't know they could die out, or even be killed out. Anyway, we would be grateful for a few of each, if you can spare them, and whenever. Incidentally, we have used Jerusalem artichokes in place of water chestnuts in Chinese food. Work splendidly. One other thing -- don't try to peel Jerusalem artichokes. Boil them first, and the skins slip off easily." A beautiful small archive from the New York Times writer/naturalist. .
