Rebecca Northen penned her first letter to Robert M. (Bert)
Hamilton in 1968 requesting a copy of his book, "Orchid Flower
Index." From that small beginning grew a correspondence that
continued for 35 years until 2003. Northen passed away in 2004, but
Hamilton had carefully kept the almost 300 letters, notes, and
cards he and his wife, Anne, had received from their dear friend.
Hamilton, 97 years old, asked friends and family to help organize
his collection of Northen's letters. "Rebecca Northen Recollected"
is the result. Northen's frank and witty observations about the
world of the orchid hobbyist during the last three decades of the
twentieth century are a delight. The letters are arranged in
chronological order and are preceded by two autobiographical
sketches, one previously unpublished. A general index and an index
to orchid plant names are provided.
