Most of the correspondence is to and from Britons, but there is some correspondence from prominent American scientists and natural historians. John Gray was a natural historian active at the British Museum of Natural History, serving from 1840-1874 as keeper of the Zoological Department. MOLE contains a very detailed inventory.
