Letter to Arnold Carl Klebs from William Osler, 13, Norham Gardens, Oxford, Oxfordshire, England. States that if in connection with the Hopkins one could get a foundation like that of Puschmann (Institute for History of Medicine, Leiptzig), it would stimulate the kind of work mentioned by Klebs, who certainly has many of the qualifications, youth, interest and brains, to take charge of such a place. Will talk with Welch about it, in April.
