Frank N. Meyer Typescript of South China Explorations

The 233 page typescript includes correspondance between Meyer and his superior, Fairchild, regarding Meyer's exploration trip to South China from 1916-1918. These letters allow us to glimpse a part of Meyer's personality - his excitement discovering plants as well as his lonliness in the foreign wilderness. The typescript also contains small black and white photographs of plants found in China, as well as personal letters and accounts of Meyer's death during the expedition.
