Letter to Yale University Press from William Osler, 13, Norham Gardens, Oxford, Oxfordshire, England. Will have many illustrations for his lectures. Asks if it would be possible to get the book out in a form similar to the "Dechlung und Deckler der Zeit" of 1911, particularly for the illustrations. Thinks that it would make an attractive feature and help the sale, which should be large and justify an extra outlay.
