Verdoon, F., 1930-1935

The papers contained in Howe's correspondence series are arranged alphabetically by correspondent and are then arranged in chronological sequence. The series contains an assortment of letters received and carbon copies of letters sent, bibliographies, research notes, field reports and manuscript materials. The assortment of materials in this series is because the documents are glued together in meticulous fashion. In addition to scientific papers, this series includes some correspondence concerning Howe's administrative duties at the New York Botanical Garden, his term as President of the New York Academy of Sciences as well as some personal matters of a varied nature.
