Letter to Harvey Cushing from Marian (May Francis Osborne, 48, Bloor Street East, Toronto, Ontario, Canada. Osborne(?) has compiled Osler family letters, written while Osler was at the Weston School.

Osler only began letter writing in earnest when he moved to Montreal and was far removed from family and friends for the first time.
