Letter to Hon. Justice Featherston Osler

Letter to Hon. Justice Featherston Osler from Grace Revere Osler, 13, Norham Gardens, Oxford, Oxfordshire, England. Lady Osler confesses that she was an inadequate wife to one who deserved so much, and yet, she cannot recall a day when she did not do her utmost to help Osler and to make his life easy and his home happy. She recalls that they were a happy family until the war began in 1914. She is sure that the world is a better place for Osler having lived in it; never was a man more loved or admired. She outlines the details of Osler's will: his medical library is to go to the McGill Medical Faculty; and upon the death of Lady Osler, their home is to go to Christ Church for the residence of the Regius Professor of Medicine. She plans to return to North America, but is too desolated and miserable to make plans at this time.
