Letter to Hackett (Yale University) from William Osler, From the Regius Professor of Medicine, Oxford, Oxfordshire, England. Glad they are getting on with the illustrations. Day said Yale would pay the cost of the photographs for the work. He thinks that, as he used the pictures for his lectures, it would not be fair to have Yale pay the total amount, around 30 pounds. Asks Day's opinion, he is willing to do anything he suggests. Civilities.
