Letter to William Osler from George W. Campbell, Montreal, Quebec, Canada. Campbell discusses the details of the Chair of Botany at McGill, which has been offered to Osler. There may be a three month course on Pathology with the use of a microscope added to the position. He suggests that Osler should rely on private practice to subsidize living expenses. He cannot offer a separate Chair of Pathology, as for the time being it comes under the jurisdiction of Dr. Drake.
Letter to William Osler from Robert Palmer Howard, Montreal, Quebec, Canada. Howard writes of Osler's intention to become an Oculist. Mr. Morgan, resident Surgeon at Moorfields, and formerly in charge of the eye-wards at Netley, wrote to Howard informing him that he would like to come to Montreal as an Oculist. If this were to happen it would seriously jeopardize Osler's hopes of making eye dissection his specialty.
Letter to William Osler from Robert Palmer Howard, Montreal, Quebec, Canada. Howard knows that Osler would have preferred to teach Practical Physiology than Botany. He hopes Osler understands that the offer of the Chair of Botany was made by McGill in an attempt to develop a connection between Osler and the University. McGill is so poor and needy that it could not fund a lectureship in Practical Physiology at present. He advises Osler to concentrate on general practice and to obtain a degree from the F.R.C.S. in Edinburgh.
