Letter to Simon Flexner from William Osler, From the Regius Professor of Medicine, Oxford, Oxfordshire, England. Thanks for his cable and letter. Keogh told him that the supply had arrived. Had tried to induce them to appoint Robb, as Flexner suggested, but there are difficulties. Gordon of Bart's has been detailed for the work. Details about the first case treated, the serum manufactured at the Lister. The epidemic is declining. Sorry that they did not keep Ellis in the country, but he has to go to France with his unit. Thanks for the book. Details about it. The sickness among the troops in France is not great. The French and the Belgians, and in places the Germans, are having typhoid pretty hot. Love to Meltzer, Loeb, Cole and to the Flexners.

Has asked Bullock to send Flexner material. George Draper is in France, Osler got Ireland to send him there, must have sent Flexner his brief reports on the waning epidemic. Discussion about it. Bradford writes about cases of a disease resembling polyneuritis, which is probably Heine-Medin disease, without the encephalitic symptoms. Put to his attention the fact that the letargic type has been prevalent in Paris and Vienna. Thinks that they are the same disease.
