Letter to James William White from William Osler, 13, Norham Gardens, Oxford, Oxfordshire, England. He was under the impression that he had written him from the Athenaeum Club after seeing Henry James. The latter is deeply depressed, his nephew Henry James Junior stayed with him for a while, and now William James is there. There are not good accounts. Extract from a letter William James sent where he describes the state of mind of Henry James. Skinner has recommended changing his mind and that Henry James friends work in that direction. Comments on Skinner. Osler's opinion on the matter is that the disease is relatively superficial and the remissions seem independent of assignable outward influences. Mentions that Henry James had written to him 18 months ago about anginoid symptoms, which had disappeared. Hopes that White will visit him to cheer him up.
Letter to Maude E. Abbott from William Osler, 13, Norham Gardens, Oxford, Oxfordshire, England. Compliment on the program of the meeting. The total of the reports show how much good work such an organization may be able to accomplish. Glad that she has a lectureship and a raise.
