Correspondence from William Manlius Smith to John Torrey, dated September 17, 1846, informing Torrey that he has left a large bundle of plant specimens from "Asia Minor" for him with his brother J. Calvin Smith of Coenties Slip. The plants were gathered by another brother Azariah Smith, Jr., a "missionary to the Armenians." Smith asks Torrey to check the plants' identifications, as his brother is "not a very accurate botanist."

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.
