Natural History Museum, LondonThis file contains 1 bundle of letters attached with treasury tags. The letters are numbered 201-295. They are almost entirely sent between Frank Ludlow and William Wright Smith. There are a variety of photographs (primula and the camp), greetings cards and prints of scans of letters interspersed throughout. These have been left in the original order. There are also a few letters to Cowan and Fletcher (British Museum).
2 folders, each containing around 40 specimens, the first being the collection curated by Great Aunt Lou - Louisa Hoby nee Russell in around 1862. The second seems to have been put together at least partly by 'DR' and includes seaweed specimens from Cumbrae.
