- Cover title.
- Second of two issues published by St. Luke's hospital in London in 1860. This version has a comma after "Tree" in the cover title, and the appeal for funds on page 19 in boldface type in seven lines.
- Light pink wrappers. The frame on outside front wrapper differs from that on first issue.
- Advertisement soliciting donations to the hospital on inside back wrapper.
- The entire pamphlet has been attributed to W.H. Wills, but the discovery of the original manuscript, containing more than half of the lines of the first sketch in Dicken's handwriting, proves he wrote at least the greater part of it. See Eckel.
