Letter to William Osler, March 1, 1900

Letter to William Osler from W.S. Greenfield, 7, Heriot Row, Edinburgh, Scotland. Greenfield understands that it will be difficult to convince Osler to leave Baltimore. He offers Osler information about the University of Edinburgh to help him make his decision. For the most part, the Edinburgh Medical Faculty supports Osler's candidacy to the Chair of Medicine. He assures Osler that the facilities, laboratory and assistants will be sufficient if he were to come to Edinburgh. He warns Osler that at Edinburgh, Medicine has been looked at as a means to lucrative practice chiefly, and teaching has not been given the attention it deserves. He supplies Osler with salary figures and vacation schedules. He encourages Osler to apply for the job and to cable him with his final decision.

Letter to Edward A. Sharpey Schäfer, February 26, 1900

Letter to Edward A. Sharpey Schäfer from Lord Joseph Lister, 12, Park Crecent, Portland Place, Edinburgh, Scotland. Lister writes that he must refrain from endorsing any specific candidate to the Chair of Medicine at Edinburgh. Although he is sure Osler would make an excellent candidate, he does not see how Osler can secure the position without making a formal application. If the Curators were to appoint someone to the Chair who had not applied for the position, it would be a slap in the face to the other worthy candidates.

Letter to William Osler, February 22, 1900

Letter to William Osler from Edward A. Sharpey Schäfer, University Club, Edinburgh, Scotland. Osler seems to have made a favourable impression on Lord Provost, who will most likely endorse his candidacy to Chair of Medicine at Edinburgh. The Board of Curators has a policy against inviting doctors to the University. As a result, Schäfer encourages Osler to prepare an application. He reports that most of the Medical Faculty at Edinburgh support Osler.

He includes a list of the names of the Curators.

Letter to William Osler, February 10, 1900

Letter to William Osler from A.D. Webster, Belleville Lodge, Blacket Avenue, Edinburgh, Scotland.

Letter to William Osler, February 6, 1900

Letter to William Osler from W.S. Greenfield, 7, Heriot Row, Edinburgh, Scotland. He writes of the death of Grainger Stewart and asks if Osler would consider being his successor to the Chair of Medicine. Greenfield believes that Osler is the perfect candidate for the position, especially because Edinburgh is lacking in the study of Pathology and could use Osler's expertise on the subject. He must keep this letter private, as it would scandalize his brethren at Edinburgh.
