Letter to Arthur T. Hadley from William Osler, The Athenaeum, Pall Mall, London, England. Mentions that he had cable him asking to postpone his Silliman Lectures until Spring. The pressure of his publishers forced him to work for the last six months on the revision of his text-book. He is mentally used up, and would like to have the winter to prepare his lectures. He had arranged the programme with Stokes : 1. Six lectures on the evolution of modern medicine 2. A general address on "A Way of Life" to the student body. 3. A couple of bibliographical lectures on subjects in which he is interested. Hopes to see him this evening at the Royal Society.

Letter to Karl Sudhoff from William Osler, 13, Norham Gardens, Oxford, Oxfordshire, England. Letter in German. Asks him if there is anybody working on a special edition of "Tabulae Sex" of Vesalius, as it will be his fourth hundred anniversary in 1914. He thinks he read something about it in a German paper. Harvey Cushing was at his home, and he showed him the exemplar of "Tabulae Sex" of Sir John Stirling Maxwell. Cushing is a long time admirer of Vesalius and has an interesting collection of his literature. Since no one was working on a special edition for the fourth hundred anniversary in Belgium, he has suggested Cushing work on that.
