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.

Correspondence from Daniel Cady Eaton to John Torrey, dated 1856-1860, discussing botanical specimens and endeavors, particularly in the realm of Eaton's specialty, ferns. Eaton regularly visits Gray in Cambridge and keeps Torrey abreast of his work with Gray and of the plants coming in from all points, largely from the many government-sponsored expeditions of that period. As well as books, the two periodically exchange numbers of the German journal Linnaea.
