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.
