1904447631904. <p>Curtis Charles 1853-1928; Walter Fox 1858-1934. Archive of 21 autograph letters 18 by Curtis 3 by Fox signed to James Kortright Birch 1850-1927 plus a watercolor sketch of orchids and additional materials; list available on request. Penang Botanic Gardens Malaysia 12 December 1892 - 23 November 1904. Various sizes. Pin-holes in most of the letters one letter with a small portion of the margin cut away not affecting legibility a few edges frayed but very good.</p> <p> Remarkable scientific archive consisting primarily of letters from British botanist Charles Curtis the first superintendent of the famous Penang Botanic Gardens in Malaysia and the one primarily responsible for the Gardens' beautiful design. All of the letters in this archive deal with the identification of tropical plant species including orchids ferns flowering trees and shrubs fruits etc. They document Curtis's encyclopedic knowledge of both local and exotic species as well as his collecting activities and his collegial relationship with Kew Gardens in London. The recipient of the letters was James Kortright Birch a colonial governor of Penang and "a very keen gardener with considerable technical knowledge" who "did much to make the Penang Botanical Gardens the beauty spot that they are" obituary from The Singapore Free Press and Mercantile Advertiser 15 June 1927.</p> <p> Curtis gained his knowledge of tropical plants as a plant hunter for the well-known nursery firm of James Veitch & Sons. He traveled to Madagascar Borneo Sumatra Java and Mauritius to find new and rare botanical species some of which are named for him. In 1884 Curtis was appointed assistant superintendent of the Forests and Gardens Department in Penang and shortly afterwards was put in charge of the newly established Penang Botanic Gardens. During his 18 years as head of the Gardens Curtis worked tirelessly to transform the garden site an abandoned granite quarry into a beautiful park stocked with thousands of native and exotic plants intended to serve as a recreation area a botanical repository and a center for the cultivation of various species. In his spare time he put together his own collections of plants from Penang Burma and neighboring coastal areas sending samples to Kew Gardens in London and to Veitch & Sons. Curtis retired from the Penang Botanic Gardens in December 1903; he was succeeded by horticulturalist Walter Fox another expert on tropical plants who is also represented in this archive. </p> <p>. unknown books

Thy letter was handed me by a Friend just arrived in this Country from Sommersetshire but latterly a resident of Bristol; on noticing the decease of our affectionate connection Emma Bury he told me that she was buried within a few yards of his house & that he had attended her funeral; he has since gone down the river to settle on Morris Burbeck's Purchase. I have lately heard that two Families from Cornwall of the name of Truscott passed also down the river for the same destination. In England you can have no idea of the great immigration west of the Allegheny Mountains. I expect the next 30 years this country will equal in population France or Germany a vast popular government is now forming and I expect ere long will become separated from the Atlantic States their interests from the great extent of the country must clash and of course New Orleans from its situation will become a city of vast importance; but from its being situated in a flat Southern climate will prove the burial place for thousands of those who trade there. The Ohio river as likewise the Mississippi & its numerous large tributary streams are becoming a vast scene of commercial importance about 20 steam boats are already employed on their waters & as many more are now building some of which will measure about 500 tons & cost when completed upwards of 50000 dollars a single Freight from Orleans will amount to 25000 provided they carry only 250 tons of goods at 100 drs a ton which is 20 pr cent lower than is now paid from Philada and which voyage can be accomplished in 30 days.
