Bartram responded and described the tree (papaw) to Collinson, saying, "Ye papas will
bear ye shade as well as most…[It is] of swift growth…but by degrees these other trees
of slower but more permanent growth advances above and overcomes them like many
human monarchs." This is as near to politics as the letters between the "king's botanist"
and the Quaker gardener get.
The underlined part is really hard for to understand becaue of old english and an complicated
structure. Would you anyone help me with this?
And does near to politics mean "somewhat political"?
Thanks in advance!
