Lauraceae correspondence concerns determinations and records of incoming and outgoing specimen loans made by Dr. Allen during her tenure as Assistant in the Herbarium at the Arnold Arboretum. Lauraceae correspondence with Bassett Maguire relates to her treatment of Lauraceae in his "Plant Explorations of Guiana". Halenia correspondence is related to the publication of her monograph on the "American Species of the Genus Halenia" and the comments and requests for determinations that followed it. Personal correspondence offers an insight into the cordial relations that Allen maintained with her professors and colleagues at the Missouri Botanical Garden.
