A source on Mill’s life in Avignon. This article begins by noting the death of Pastor Rey, aged 99 ‘dernier survivant des amis de l’economiste et philosophe anglais Stuart Mill’. It includes the transcript of Mill’s letter of 3rd November 1858 to the Mayor of Avignon gifting 1000 francs to the poor in memory of Harriet. There is an account of Mill’s friendship with the botanist Fabre, Helen Taylor’s life in Avignon after Mill’s death, her return to England in 1905 and donation of 3000 francs to the town of Avignon to maintain Mill and Harriet’s tomb. There is also a reference to the sale of Mill’s library.
