Hooker informs Torrey that, in a recent letter from Asa Gray, he has received "a very nice photograph of yourself in which I can trace the lineaments of a very old & kind friend, with a very thoughtful face..." He tells him that he has asked Francis Boott's widow to forward Torrey a carte de visite of Boott, and adds that he is also enclosing photographs of his father-- who died the precious year-- and himself, with the letter. In closing he adds that his mother and sister are doing "remarkably well" and spending the winter in Torquay.
