Letter to William Osler from Archibald Byron Macallum, Toronto, Ontario, Canada. They have created a Chair of Pathological Chemistry. The chairman would teach the students of the 3rd, 4th, and 5th years, on the Chemistry of Metabolism in disease. Gowland Hopkins has declined the offer and Leathes is still considering it. They are looking for a man with scientific and medical qualifications. Details on the salary. They created that chair to give a scientific term to the final subjects, and to promote sciences at the Toronto University, to fight against the reactionary tendencies.

Letter to William Osler from Archibald Byron Macallum, Toronto, Ontario, Canada. Precision on the teaching that the Professor of Pathological Chemistry will have to do. About 150 hours of instruction in the three years. He will have a demonstrator, but his duty will not be so heavy, and he will have time for research. Mentions that he will go to England late in July and will probably attend the Dublin Meeting. Civilities.

Letter to William Osler from Archibald Byron Macallum, Toronto, Ontario, Canada. Leathes has declined the offer for the Chair of Pathological Chemistry. He does not know who will be approached next. He is going to Liverpool on the 15th or 22th of August. Would visit him if he is in England, to discuss matters an hour or two. Would like to know where Osler will be in August and September. The discussion will be postponed until they see each other. Civilities. Wishes him success in the Edinburgh Rectorial.
