Scope and content
Letter to Harvey Cushing from Hon. Justice Featherston Osler, 80, Crescent Road, Rosedale, Toronto, Ontario, Canada. Featherston Osler explains that William Osler brought their aunt, Miss Mary Anne Pickton, to Canada in 1884. Miss Pickton lived with Osler's parents on Wellesley Street in Toronto until her death in February 1886. William Osler and Miss Pickton were very close; she may have helped fund Osler's studies in Germany. He mentions his aunt Lizzie [Elizabeth Osler], his father's youngest sister.
