Correspondence from West Chester, Pennsylvania, botanist, physician, and politician William Darlington (1782-1863) to Elliott, dated August 31, 1827, regarding their exchange of plant specimens. Darlington writes he specifically seeks a specimen of Prunus hyemalis, which Elliott described in A sketch of the botany of South-Carolina and Georgia. In a letter dated December 14, 1827, Darlington says he is forwarding a box of specimens to Elliott, and responds to his enquiries regarding Caltha palustris and Ranunculus marilandicus. An undated letter to Elliott requests a number of specimens mentioned in his sketch and refers to Darlington’s ideas on opening public herbaria.
