Correspondence from Thomas Dunlap to John Torrey, dated August 13, 1841. Dunlap thanks Torrey for a book he recently sent him, an offers to show him where the Taxus canadensis may be found growing on Manhattan Island. He also offers to take a train trip with Torrey to Ramapo, New Jersey, where "I am inclined to think you would find sufficient to remumerate you for your trouble."
Correspondence from Thomas Antisell to John Torrey, dated from 1853-1861. Earlier letters make frequent mention of the progress being made on volume 7 of the Pacific Railroad survey to which he and Torrey both contributed, as well as chemical experiments and the activities of other chemists and geologists of mutual acquaintance such as A.A. Hayes, G.C. Schaeffer, and C.F. Jackson. Antisell frequently voices his dissatisfaction with his government posts at the War Department and the Patent Office, and his attempts to find other employment and supplemental work lecturing at various medical colleges. Several letters are undated.
Correspondence from John Torrey to Robert Benner, dated July 22, 1841, discussing arrangements for a plant collecting trip to the Catskills in early August. Torrey discusses the possibiity that Jacob Whitman Bailey might join them, and inquires as to whether his daughter might also come. The trip would furnish specimens for Torrey's ongoing work on North American flora, as well as introduce Benner to his future wife, Torrey's niece, who along with Margaret Torrey accompanied the men on the trip. The letter is accompanied by two letters outlining its provenance as a gift from Raymond H. Torrey, who acquired it from Benner's son.
