Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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.

Book excerpt: Correspondence from John Carey to John Torrey, dated 1835-1854. An intimate correspondence spanning almost 20 years of friendship, Carey's letters to Torrey are candid and emotional-- sometimes buoyant and playful, other times somber. From New York City and Cambridge, Massachusetts he documents his hard work on botanical subjects ("...there is no such thing in nature as a strict lineal series of affinities"), particularly his contributions to Asa Gray's "Manual" in the area of Carex and Salix, and the traffic in specimens that flows between the botanists. He provides frequent news of their mutual acquaintences in the sciences, and nearly always sends warm greetings to Torrey's wife and daughters, and later his young son Herbert, who Carey calls "Herby." As a widow living alone, Carey eagerly anticipates his meetings and visits with Torrey and his family; there is much discussion about a planned oyster dinner in 1849. Carey pragmatically councils Torrey to pursue a well-paid professorship in Philadelphia, even though it would require "the necessary divorce from your early love (Flora)." Likewise he takes the reins of his brother Samuel's business when Sam is too ill to work. By fall of 1849 Carey is in dark spirits; he writes that he cannot bear to visit Torrey's happy home again because it makes his own loneliness too painful. 1849 also brings bouts of illness and the sale of the estate of their friend William Oakes, who drowned the previous year, and marks the beginning of a period of great personal sorrow for Carey-- the loss of his mother, two of his sons, two newborn grandchildren, and his herbarium-- mostly unmentioned in this collection, culmanating in Carey's return to his native England in 1852. He writes that he finds himself more at ease in London than he was in New York-- "I, personally am better fitted for a liegeman of the British Crown, than for one of Uncle Sam's Free and enlightened Citizens"-- and because he has started work in a brokerage house, "I must not be coquetting with dame Nature, if I would make a good man of business." Carey's last letter, dated Christmas Eve, 1854, brings a great deal of happy news: recently married, Carey and his new wife have just welcomed a baby daughter, and his surviving son and his family are staying with them in London; he is feeling healthier than ever and surprised and delighted at his good fortune. Also included in the collection is an undated note from Carey's son, John Carey, Jr., asking a question about his father's herbarium. Obsolete plant names mentioned include Carex nuttallii, Chenopodiaceae, and Cyclachaena.

Book excerpt: 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.
