Book Description
Translated copy of correspondence, originally in German, from H.G. Reichenbach to John Torrey, dated March 1,1852, from Leipzig. A cordial note and letter of recommendation for an unnamed associate, probably Carl Bogenhard. A pencilled note signed "J.H.B." asserts that the translator is Carl Bogenhard. See Bogenhard's letter dated August 6, 1852 in the John Torrey Papers; the handwriting appears to match, and from this letter it would seem the recommendee is Bogenhard himself.

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.
