Letter to William Osler from D.E. Cunningham, University of Edinburgh, Edinburgh, Lothian, Scotland. Thanks for his letter. Answers that in former contests, the non-political candidate has usually been unfortunate at the poll. But things have changed. The deputation said that Osler would have strong backing here, Churchill and Wyndham are very weak. Advises him though that political excitement enters largely into these contests. He would receive a cordial welcome as Lord Rector from those in the University who do not possess a vote.

Letter to William Osler from G. A. Gibson, 3, Drumsheugh Gardens, Edinburgh, Lothian, Scotland. His supporters made a splendid fight against the political odds, and came within 200 of victory.

In that case, he would win. Thanks him for Cunningham and Osler kindness about a paper. Civilities.
