Letter to Henry Vining Ogden from William Osler, 25, Russell Square, London, England. Osler informs Ogden of his interest in accepting the appointment to the Chair of Clinical Medicine in Philadelphia. He is fairly confident that he will be elected to the position. He is tempted by the larger medical centre and the prospects of consulting work in Philadelphia.
