Understanding 9/11Finding aid for the John Torrey papers available from the LuEsther T. Mertz Library, New York Botanical Garden and online
Correspondence from Artemas Bigelow to John Torrey, dated 1855, pointing out that a position has opened up for a professor of chemistry at the University of Wisconsin and asking Torrey for a letter of recommendation. Bigelow quotes at length from recommendations he has already received from William Kitchell and Benedict Starr, then briefly discusses some plants and geological samples he collected a few years earlier in Alabama, which he and Torrey had examined together, including an item he had previously taken to be a petrified walnut. Bigelow say he has since cut it open and is now convinced it is a member of the genus Carya-- a hickory nut.
