Note by Grace Revere Osler, June 19, 1904

Note by Grace Revere Osler concerning her husband's appointment as Regius Professor of Medicine at Oxford. Mrs. Osler recalls the day when Osler informed her that he was being considered for the Regius Professorship. She remembers feeling excited and relieved, as she was ready and willing to leave America. While Osler was at Oxford for the meeting of the British Medical Association, he wrote his wife that he could not make up his mind, as he was still hesitant to leave Baltimore. She urged him to accept the appointment at Oxford without delay. She writes that while the Canadians were proud of Osler for his new appointment, the Americans were very upset by the news. Includes manuscript notes.

Letter to Sir John Burdon Sanderson, June 21, 1904

Letter to Sir John Burdon Sanderson from William Osler, 1, West Franklin Street, Baltimore, Maryland, USA. Osler writes that he is flattered to be considered for the Regius Professorship of Medicine at Oxford, but is very sorry that Ritchie was passed over for the position. Osler is considering the appointment despite being very happy and well equipped in Baltimore. However, he does feel overworked and has been looking forward to easing some of his professional burdens. Still, he has reservations about the Regius Professorship, for he does not want to give up clinical practice. Additional notes by Grace Revere Osler.
