Correspondence from Joseph Drayton to John Torrey, dated 1847 and 1850. Two brief notes, both written on behalf of William Brackenridge, regarding the work both Daryton and Brackenridge were doing on the report on the United States Exploring Expedition. In the first note, dated December 18, 1847, Drayton says Brackenridge needs some botanical reference books and asks Torrey to ship them to Philadelphia; in the second, dated July 22, 1850, he announces he will be bringing Torrey page proofs from Brackenridge and sample plates (presumably his own work) up from Philadelphia the following day by train.
Correspondence from Joseph Dalton Hooker to John Torrey, dated March 1, 1866, written on mourning stationary. Hooker informs Torrey that, in a recent letter from Asa Gray, he has received "a very nice photograph of yourself in which I can trace the lineaments of a very old & kind friend, with a very thoughtful face..." He tells him that he has asked Francis Boott's widow to forward Torrey a carte de visite of Boott, and adds that he is also enclosing photographs of his father-- who died the precious year-- and himself, with the letter. In closing he adds that his mother and sister are doing "remarkably well" and spending the winter in Torquay.
