Letter to Harvey Cushing from R.Tait McKenzie, 2014, Pine Street, Montreal, Quebec, Canada. Letter dated December 21st, 1920. Resumes the letters he received from Osler. As described on p. 495, in volume II, Osler wrote him during his early work with the War Office in the establishment of command depots for the re-training of wounded preparatory for their return to active service. He also mentioned a card about a statue he made of Capt. Drummond. Osler urged him to collect and write up his work for a war museum. Mentions a Case of a man from Khanawake (Caugnawagha) studied by Egerton Y. Davis. McKenzie's last visit to Osler was in 1916.

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 J. William Dawson, McGill University, Montreal, Quebec, Canada. Dawson writes to offer Osler the Chair in Botany at McGill University.

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, 47, Union Avenue, Montreal, Quebec, Canada. Howard writes to offer Osler a lectureship in Practical Physiology at McGill. The fees from his students would be sufficient to cover all expenses. He advises Osler to come to Montreal immediately to begin working on his lectures. Published in Cushing, vol. I, pp. 120-121.

Letter to Francis John Shepherd from William Osler, Montreal, Quebec, Canada. Osler inquires after Shepherd's plans for the remainder of his stay in Europe. He informs Shepherd that there is talk of the Dean [of the Medical Faculty of McGill?] resigning, and Osler sees no reason why Shepherd should not take his place. Osler is busy preparing his lectures. Published in Cushing, vol. I, p. 126.

Letter to Jennette Osler from William Osler, Montreal, Quebec, Canada. Osler reports on Marian Francis' failing health. He writes of the children. Includes manuscript notes. Published in Cushing, vol. I, pp. 139-40.

Letter to Mr. N. from William Osler, 20, Radegonde Street, Montreal, Quebec, Canada. Osler offers an account of the illness and death of Mr. N.'s son. He describes the symptoms Mr. N.'s son displayed, his diagnosis of smallpox, and the doctors who cared for him. Published in Cushing, vol. I, p. 136. [Names have been omitted on Lady Osler's request, see CUS417/71.36]

Letter to Harvey Cushing from Francis John Shepherd, 152, Mansfield Street, Montreal, Quebec, Canada. Shepherd confirms that Osler contracted smallpox while attending the Smallpox Hospital in Montreal. He does not think Osler held an official appointment in the smallpox wards, nor in Pathology, but probably volunteered for both positions. Shepherd draws Cushing's attention to a paper on Osler by Rogers of Denver, Colorado.

Letter to Harvey Cushing from A.K. Haywood, Superintendent, Montreal General Hospital, Montreal, Quebec, Canada. Haywood believes that Osler was appointed as a full Attending Physician of the Montreal General Hospital on May 23, 1878. He provides quotations from the Minutes of the meeting during which Osler's appointment was secured. He has not found any record of Osler having been placed in charge of the smallpox ward. However, Osler did work in the ward starting around 1876 and contracted smallpox himself. Haywood suggests that Cushing contact Maude Abbott for further information on Osler's career in Montreal.
