Book Description
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.

Book Description
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.
