Correspondence from H.H. Eaton to John Torrey, dated July 25, 1831, mainly discussing the routes and carriers of four plant shipments he has sent to Torrey, including many meant for Torrey to pass on to others. Eaton promises to collect and send more next season, and asks Torrey for his opinion specifically on the "Geum, Anemone lexingtoniensis, & the Tetrondrous & Tetradynamous plants" he suspects may be new species. Eaton died the following year at the age of 23.
Correspondence from John Torrey to Amos Eaton, dated 1818, discussing the distribution of Eaton's books to booksellers; the difficulty of identifying a shipment of specimens Eaton recently sent ("You send me such poor specimens of your plants that if I did not know them well I should have never been able to determine them"); work on Eaton's Manual; and other botanical matters, as well as Torrey's recent graduation from medical school: "I have now got my sheepskin & have full powers granted me to kill & destroy in any part of the earth-- I expect soon to open an office in the City." The second document is titled "Remarks on Eaton's translations of Acharius," with notes on a number of lichen genera; it is undated, and may have originally been enclosed with the letter. Unresolved plant names mentioned include Smyrnium aureum.
