Letter to John Whitridge Williams from William Osler, From the Regius Professor of Medicine, Oxford, Oxfordshire, England. He is terribly disappointed not to be able to come for the October Celebration (25th anniversary of the Johns Hopkins Hospital) because of war.

Letter to John Whitridge Williams from William Osler, 13, Norham Gardens, Oxford, Oxfordshire, England. Will let him know later, as there is a difficulty about registration. It may be possible to arrange. Deplores that the Unit did not come. The Harvard Unit and the Chicago Unit have had a good experience. The Chicago Unit has signed for a year. They are moving out of the tents which are not suited to the climate. All well. His opinion is that USA should get their boats ready. If the Allies go under, their turn comes next.
