Letter to Harvey Cushing from Maude E. Abbott, Medical Museum, McGill University, Montreal, Quebec, Canada. Abbott sends Cushing a communication given to her by Dr. Alfred Bolles [see CUS417/80.42]. She and Dr. Garrison agreed that they could not publish it in the Bulletin for the way it reflects on Dr. Pepper.

Letter to Harvey Cushing from Francis John Shepherd, 152, Mansfield Street, Montreal, Quebec, Canada. Shepherd writes of a consultation with Dr. Gordon. He has just remembered that Osler did not resign from McGill when he left for Philadelphia in 1884; he took six months leave instead.

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.

Letter to Harvey Cushing from Maude E. Abbott, Medical Museum, McGill University, Montreal, Quebec, Canada. Abbott is fairly certain that Osler attended the International Congress of Medicine at Philadelphia in 1876. She suggests that Cushing consult the Canada Medical & Surgical Journal, vol. v and the Boston Medical & Surgical Journal, September 14, 1876 for more information. She hopes that nothing she has done in regards to the Osler Bulletin will cast a shadow between herself and Cushing.

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.
