Letter to James William White from William Osler, 13, Norham Gardens, Oxford, Oxfordshire, England. Thanks. They have enough now, as the Rockefeller Foundation offer to help the five or six Belgian science professors at Oxford. They are hearing of new ones everyday, and they are twenty at Cambridge. Positive comments on the climate and the recruiting. The wounded are pouring in, but the hospitals are doing well. In Oxford, they have had 800 cases, and only one death, from tetanus. Surprised by the modern bullets which do not cause that much damage. He is trying to stir up the anti-typhoid inoculation. Anecdote on one of his address on an open air meeting at the King Edward Horse camp. Word about the "anti's" (people against the inoculation).
