Edward Lewis Sturtevant papers, 1839-1898.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/61772658

Index rerum is eleven volumes of notes on botanical and farm data. The watercolors in this collection are described in Sturtevant's Notes on edible plants. The drawings and notes of Capsicum are referred to in Annual Report of the Missouri Botanical Garden, v. 4, p. 15(1894), v. 6, p. 17(1896), v. 8, p. 53(1898). The family papers are mostly legal papers concerning family property in Maine. There are also 183 Civil War and college letters between Sturtevant and Mary Mann, then his fiance, later his first wife; and a few letters by Sturtevant when he was about ten years of age. Six early photographs are included and one small trunk which held all of these papers. Included are a few letters and a trustees resolution from William Trelease to Sturtevant concerning the gift of Sturtevant's library to the Missouri Botanical Garden. The index cards appear to be one of the sources for Sturtevant's notes on edible plants. They are described on p. vi as "between 40-50,000 card index notes which belong in part to this Station [New York Agricultural Experiment Station] and in part to the Missouri Botanical Garden."
