Letter from Kevin Conrad to Isabel Shipley Cunningham , 2004

The letters in Subseries I.B. refer to Jefferson's work with cherry trees, expeditions, publications, and lectures. Letters from Elizabeth C. Rea, the President of the Friends of the United States National Arboretum, refer to funding Jefferson's expeditions to Japan. Many of the letters are often requests or responses to proposals to work with Jefferson on different projects. Some of the projects include requests for being a speaker at events or working on a collaborative publication. The correspondence from Cunningham refers to expanding public knowledge about the condition of the cherry trees around the Tidal Basin in Washington, D.C. and for crediting Jefferson with the other Asian plant explorers on the United States National Arboretum website. The subseries is arranged chronologically.
