Engels to Hermann Engels 13th October 1877
….there has infact been a bit of a frost here too, but the geraniums are still flowering a little outside.In Scotland however the entire harvest is done for,on 20th September, near Edinburgh, I noticed that the corn was still quite green
Engels had been on a fortnight’s holiday in Scotland in September. The letter is dated London but he may have been referring to a frost in Ramsgate where he had been staying
