Book Description
Correspondence from Edward Frederick Leitner to John Torrey, dated September 12, 1832. Leitner writes to Torrey-- "although I have not the pleasure of your acquaintance"-- to request his support for an expedition Leitner proposes to make to "East Florida" and the Tortugas to collect botanical and, to a lesser extent, zoological specimens. He outlines the subscription scheme he has contrived to support the expedition, describes his proposed route, and offers a number of prominent naturalists as references.

Book Description
Correspondence from Bradford Ripley Alden to John Torrey, dated 1832-1834. A young officer just graduated from West Point, Alden writes from his postings in Florida asking Torrey to purchase and send him some medical books and a skeleton, as he has decided to "devote my leisure moments to the study of Medicine," and notifying him of boxes of botanical and mineralogical specimens he is sending to New York for Torrey. In a 1834 letter written from West Point, Alden laments the loss of another box of plants he shipped from Florida, and confesses he had been unhappy at that posting. A fourth letter, dated 1832, is from Bradford Alden's father Roger Alden.
