Letter to Richard Pearson Strong from Grace Revere Osler, 13, Norham Gardens, Oxford, Oxfordshire, England. As Strong was a great admirer of Osler, Lady Osler writes to him to confess her sadness and grief. She reports that on November 29, 1919, Osler wrote of his own impending death to a friend in New York. She worries now about William Francis, who never knew another father besides Osler. Osler had suggested that Francis act as Librarian of his collection at McGill University in the future.
