Letter to Harvey Cushing from William Osler, From the Regius Professor of Medicine, Oxford, Oxfordshire, England. Interested in a portrait, but doubts that it could be Harvey.

Fock will duplicate the more important ones. He is unhappy today, having lost a manuscript of Chrysippus and one of Constantinus Africanus. He has accepted the invitation to lecture for the Press.

Eric Pearce-Gould, one of their choicest boys, will visit him in Boston, at the end of February. Asks him to thank Kate for her letter. Will spend a few days with them in April.

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.
