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.
