Letter to Frederick Cheever Shattuck from William Osler. Osler has been reading works by Elisha Bartlett, W.W. Gerhard, G.C. Shattuck Jr. [F.C.'s father], and James Jackson. He finds these works to be delightful after reading "trash" like the Medico-Chirurgical Bulletin. Osler would some day like to publish a collection of works by Gerhard, Stillé, and G.C. Shattuck. Includes manuscript notes.

Letter to Frederick Cheever Shattuck from William Osler, 1, West Franklin Street, Baltimore, Maryland, USA. Osler writes of Typho-malarial fever and his opinion that the two diseases, typhoid and malaria, coexist but do not form a separate, hybrid disease. He asks Shattuck what he thinks of Durham's views about relapse. Osler is very interested in these views and is sorry that he did not get a chance to incorporate them into the last edition of his text book. He thanks Shattuck for his suggestions about gas poisoning, a highly mortal and common problem in Baltimore.
