Two letters by Alice B. Toklas
Manuscripts
The first letter dated August 11 and written to Dorothy Bowen and Lucille Hook, is written in reply to a menu inspired by Toklas and her recipes and includes a comment on an error in a recipe, presumably from her own cookbook. The second letter, written only to Dorothy Bowen and dated November 21, is a discussion of cookbooks and recipes, and refers to a show of cookbooks at the Huntington Library.

Alice Flood seaweed album
Manuscripts
A collection of sixty-eight seaweed, algae, and bryozoan samples, many of which have culinary uses; the majority of the samples are labeled with both common English names and Latin names. The majority of the samples were collected along the English coast, but two samples have a given location of "Point de Galles" in Sri Lanka. Each sample is attached to the paper with tiny stitches of thread; the leaves are loose and housed in a contemporary green cloth drop-sided box. The box also contains a poem on the recto of one folded leaf about the beauty of seaweed. The seaweed samples are extremely fragile and must be handled with care.
