Book excerpt: Correspondence from Asa Gray to John Torrey, dated 1831-1874. Gray's early letters establish the pattern of his correspondence to Torrey: notice of books and specimens sent and received; news of friends and colleagues; updates, discussion, and questions regarding their numerous joint projects; accounts paid and received; a smattering of personal news; and affectionate regards to Torrey and his family ("Tell dear Herbert ... that I look at his picture every day"). In the 1830s Gray casts about for steady employment, toys with the idea of moving south, or traveling to Mexico. (There are no letters from the period 1837-1840, when Gray traveled to Europe, or 1863-1868.) Once Gray settles in Cambridge, Massachusetts, his letters become more frequent; as years pass and Torrey and Gray take on the task of multiple botanical government reports in addition to their Flora, they mature into businesslike missives full of details of the commissioning and production of drawings and plates, and the distasteful task of navigating the political world. Gray's particular blend of personal circumspection ("Conclusions found in hurly-burly are good for nothing") and professional combativeness is much in evidence, as is his protectiveness toward his friend, and those who cause Torrey grief, like Charles Wilkes ("a very dirty fellow") and President James Buchanan ("a gross outrage"), are soundly dismissed.

Book Synopsis Carl Bogenhard and John Torrey Correspondence by : Carl Bogenhard
Download or read book Carl Bogenhard and John Torrey Correspondence written by Carl Bogenhard and published by . This book was released on 1852 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Correspondence from Carl Bogenhard to John Torrey, dated 1852-1853. Bogenhard's first letter to Torrey, writing on the recommendation of Asa Gray, introduces him as a desperate case. Recently arrived in America from Germany, he entered into an apothecary business in Williamsburg, Brooklyn with an unscrupulous partner-- one Buchholz-- who has since absconded with Bogenhard's money. Bogenhard appeals for help. In subsequent missives he forwards a letter of recommendation from his colleague Karl Reichenbach in Germany, and gradually describes the events that led up to his emigrating to America-- a fire that destroyed all his possessions, including his herbarium, and a chemistry experiment involving silver nitrate and alcohol that nearly lost him his eyesight. He thanks Torrey regularly and profusely for his assistance-- professional referrals, apothecary supplies, coal, and other gifts, including a New Testament, which Bogenhard relates has proved a great comfort to his wife. He apologizes for the imposition and for his imperfect English just as frequently. He offers the services of his wife, who has also been cheated by an unscrupulous employer, for mounting herbarium specimens; he himself offers to do translating and copying jobs for Torrey and his acquaintances. In one despairing letter he describes himself as "a martyr of the science." Bogenhard died in 1853. Also included in the collection is an unaddressed letter in German, possibly a draft, and another in English, which may have been meant for Asa Gray.
