Two more pages, mentions New Zealand, James [Key] Caird C.B., and South Africa. Yours very truly, James Howard. Howard was an English agriculturalist, Liberal politician, manufacturer, and Bedfordshire landowner. In 1862, Howard bought a large part of the Clapham, Bedfordshire, estates of Bertram Ashburnham, 4th Earl of Ashburnham, and established a model farm there, farming his land under new scientific methods. In 1864, Giuseppe Garibaldi visited the Howard brothers' Britannia Works and planted a Giant Sequoia (then known as the Wellingtonia gigantea) on the lawn there as a memento of his visit.
