Letter to Harvey Cushing from Maude E. Abbott, Medical Museum, McGill University, Montreal, Quebec, Canada. Abbott is fairly certain that Osler attended the International Congress of Medicine at Philadelphia in 1876. She suggests that Cushing consult the Canada Medical & Surgical Journal, vol. v and the Boston Medical & Surgical Journal, September 14, 1876 for more information. She hopes that nothing she has done in regards to the Osler Bulletin will cast a shadow between herself and Cushing.
Letter to Harvey Cushing from A.K. Haywood, Superintendent, Montreal General Hospital, Montreal, Quebec, Canada. Haywood believes that Osler was appointed as a full Attending Physician of the Montreal General Hospital on May 23, 1878. He provides quotations from the Minutes of the meeting during which Osler's appointment was secured. He has not found any record of Osler having been placed in charge of the smallpox ward. However, Osler did work in the ward starting around 1876 and contracted smallpox himself. Haywood suggests that Cushing contact Maude Abbott for further information on Osler's career in Montreal.
