In his first letter, date June 6, 1838, Hale informs Torrey that he is sending him a box of plant specimens from Alexandria, Louisiana at the suggestion of Milenes Leavenworth; in the second , dated October 4 of the same year, he inquires as to whether the specimens were satisfactory and assures Torrey he will send more in the spring.
