Correspondence from Daniel Cady Eaton to John Torrey, dated 1856-1860, discussing botanical specimens and endeavors, particularly in the realm of Eaton's specialty, ferns. Eaton regularly visits Gray in Cambridge and keeps Torrey abreast of his work with Gray and of the plants coming in from all points, largely from the many government-sponsored expeditions of that period. As well as books, the two periodically exchange numbers of the German journal Linnaea.
Correspondence from Daniel B. Smith to John Torrey, dated 1827 and 1865. In his early letter Smith reassures Torrey that a promised electrometer will be sent soon, and muses on the shortcomings of Linnaeus' sexual system. He reports that "our new review" -- probably the American Journal of Pharmacy-- has proven popular and suggests that Torrey might contribute an article on the state of American botany. Smith's later letter encloses a plant specimen for Torrey's perusal, and expresses the hope that Torrey's recent trip to California was both professionally and physically beneficial. Obsolete plant names mentioned include Telanthera.
