Correspondence from George Gibbs to John Torrey, dated 1854. This collection consists of two letters, dated January 8 and December 12. The first letter seems to have accompanied some specimens of an unidentified "odoriferous shrub" found in the area of Washington from which Gibbs is writing, which he describes in detail and which Torrey appears to have identified-- with a small note on the letter-- as Ceanothus velutinus. Gibbs' second letter notes that he has only just received, in December, a letter from Torrey dated March 23. Gibbs goes on to describe his recent activities with the Pacific Railroad Survey.

Correspondence from George Thurber to John Torrey, dated 1851-1869. The correspondence begins with Thurber in Texas, working on the Boundary Survey. He moves on to Providence, Rhode Island, and two main themes emerge in his letters-- botanical work, and a seemingly endless search for adequate employment. The latter gradually takes over Thurber's later letters, along with bouts of malaria in the moquito-ridden landscape of Lansing, Michigan, and concerns about the political climate of the country as the 1860s begin. Obsolete plant names mentioned include Cereus giganteus, Cereus thurberi, Dalea spinosa, Fougeria, Megarrhiza, and Vilfa utilis.

Correspondence from George W. Clinton to John Torrey, dated 1828-1869, beginning with Clinton's first letter to Torrey, written when the former was a young law student. The bulk of the collection, however, is from the 1860s, with Clinton writing as an older man to his lifelong friend. Discussions range from botanical issues and Clinton's involvement with the Buffalo Society of Natural Sciences ("I want the whole world to go botanizing") to the personal pleasures of his visits with Torrey and his family-- particularly Torrey's daughter Margaret-- and the trials of old age. "I have not got the spunk of a magnanimous mouse," he playfully complains in 1868. Obsolete plant names mentioned include Antirrhinum elatine and Trillium erythrocarpum.
