Letter to William Sydney Thayer from William Osler, From the Regius Professor of Medicine, Oxford, Oxfordshire, England. Thanks for the cable. It was a great worry not to be at the Celebration (25th anniversary of the opening of the Johns Hopkins Hospital). Mentions that they are working hard, particularly Grace. They have 12 Belgian professors, 61 in all with their families. The Belgian business is an awful tragedy. Mentions the horror felt in seeing the refugees at Folkestone. The Canadian Contingent Hospital has been opened, not far from Folkestone. Asks him if he had read Baron Larrey "His Life and Memoirs." Good comments on it. Mentions that he is trying to aware the Territorial Medical Officers of the importance of the health in the camps. There had been little or no sickness so far, probably because the weather has been nice. Revere is at Christ Church, and has joined the Officer's Training Corps. Civilities. P.S. Miss MacMahon is in charge of the Canadian Hospital.

Clipping from an unidentified paper of Toronto. "THE OSLER VOLUNTEERS."

Letter to Featherston Osler from William Osler, From the Regius Professor of Medicine, Oxford, Oxfordshire, England. Hopes he has made the corrections to the Journal (their father's journals).

Letter to W.D. Keith from William Osler, From the Regius Professor of Medicine, Oxford, Oxfordshire, England. The programme of their medical association (Vancouver Medical Association) is interesting. Makes a single criticism of the fact that they are in the King Edward High School. His opinion is that the city is large enough for the profession to have its own home. Suggests taking the model of Toronto and of some American cities. Practical advice. Would send 100 $ to help. He has seen in so many cases the enormous advantage of a home for the general profession that he commends the scheme to him heartily.

Letter to Arnold Carl Klebs from William Osler, 13, Norham Gardens, Oxford, Oxfordshire, England. Glad to hear from him and to know that his family is off to America. Thinks that he could be very helpful near the fire line, as there must be lot to do. Informs him that the big Examination Schools and the Town Hall are full of wounded, mostly Belgians. Details on their work to settle the Belgian professors. Mentions Grace's step to raise money in America, of the Rockefeller Foundation offer. He is visiting the camps and the hospitals. He is just back from the American Hospital at Paris Singer's place in Devonshire. The American Red Cross unit is there. Fears that it will make an unbridgeable gulf between Germany and this country for many generations.

Letter to Mrs. Charles Joseph Singer from William Osler, 13, Norham Gardens, Oxford, Oxfordshire, England. Asks her to thank her husband, that Socratic gad-fly, for his papers. Compliments them. Accepts that she uses his name, but if her husband goes off, she must come to Oxford and run the Science Room and do his work.

Letter to Mrs. Charles Joseph Singer from William Osler, 13, Norham Gardens, Oxford, Oxfordshire, England. Delighted at the good news that will enable them to progress.
