Notes

Correspondence from Richard O. Currey to John Torrey, dated October 28, 1839. A young medical student from Tennessee, Currey was informed by one of his teachers that Torrey was interested in obtaining specimens of the flora of Tennessee. During a visit home Currey collected the plants, and now writes to offer Torrey a collection of between 150 and 200 specimens. He also inquires as to the quality of facilities and curriculum at the College of Physicians and Surgeons in New York.
