Book Description
Correspondence from William L. Marcy to John Torrey, dated 1836. In the first letter, dated April 27, Marcy attempts to pursuade a skeptical Torrey that the terms being offered by the state of New York to scientists participating in its natural history survey are not as bad as he thinks: "... a more definite explanation of [the terms] may induce you to view them in a more favorable light..." This letter appears to be missing a page. In the second letter, dated July 16, it appears Torrey has accepted the commission; Marcy discusses further arrangements for perfoming the survey and some of the other naturalists he is attempting to recruit.

Book Description
Correspondence from John Torrey to John Carey, undated. A short, ebullient note congratulating Carey on a particularly tricky plant identification: "The little thing is so unike most of the order to which it belongs that I don't wonder you were puzzled with it." In celebration, Torrey writes, "I send you a queer little affair of Rafinesque's to read this evening."

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.
