Letter to Harvey Cushing from William Osler, From the Regius Professor of Medicine, Oxford, Oxfordshire, England. Sorry not to have seen his exhibit. Sorry in a way that Heger asked for postponement, as Spielmann has his material ready. They are not doing very much at the Historical Section. They will do this month a big book exhibit on the subject of naval and military hygiene. Glad that he will come to work. Thinks that they would be delighted to have him in the American Hospital in Paris. Mentions that they did not have many interesting cases in neurology. Hopes that the Government will open a special hospital for neurological cases. The frost bites are interesting, details about them. He has been really active in buying books for his library, owing to Edmund Boyd Osler's generosity. The last book he got in 1914, is the Aldine Aristotle, 1495. Comments on Revere's bookplate. The latter joins the Universities and Public Schools Regiment. Birkett and Campbell Howard are anxious for him to join the McGill Contingent. Deplores that his studies have been interrupted. He has found himself and will be happy in the literature course. Civilities.

Letter to Harvey Cushing from William Osler, From the Regius Professor of Medicine, Oxford, Oxfordshire, England. Cushing is lucky to get some Vesal items. Mentions that he had pick up a copy of Maxwell's reprint of the Tabulae Sex at the Napier sale. Mentions that he had been elected President of the Bibliographical Society. It is an embarrassing honour, he feel horridly amateurish compared to the professional fellows like Pollard. But he enjoys this Society. Mentions that his new section on the History of Medicine is going to be a success. He wanted to have Allbutt , or Norman Moore as President, but at the insistence of the the younger members, he has been elected. He was sorry, as he was afraid Moore was rather hurt, but he had a talk with him about it. Glad that he is enjoying Boston. Civilities.
