De Candollez, Alpha. 1 letter (1876, July 31) to "Mon cher Monsieur."
Manuscripts
The collection is semi-catalogued in two upright boxes, with three oversize volumes. It contains two botanical essays by Hutchison on the species of cacti in which he specialized, as well as a few of his letters to and from other prominent botanists. The lion's share of the collection consists of Hutchison's personal collection of the journals and correspondence of English streetcar operator and amateur cactus botanist John Thomas Bates. There are several botanical notebooks and catalogues belonging to Hutchison and Bates. Two of Bates' notebooks contain extensive notes on English botanist Nicholas Edward Brown (1849-1934). There is also a 1952 bound report collected by Hutchison on the horticultural and agricultural conditions of the Caribbean island of St. Croix. There are also 24 items of ephemera including a botanical catalogue, miscellaneous ledgers, invoices, photographs, a scrapbook and taxonomic notes.
