Notes

Correspondence from Jessie Benton Frémont to John Torrey, dated 1847-1849. In her first letter, dated 1847, Frémont discusses her husband John C. Frémont's health and activities in California, the unreliable postal service, and her opinions on the war with Mexico. The second letter is undated, though assumed to be from early 1849; in it Frémont reports that her husband's health has improved and describes her handling of a list of plants from Torrey. The third letter, dated 1849, discusses Frémont's own health and says she has had no news from her husband.
