Letter to William Osler from Edward A. Sharpey Schäfer, University Club, Edinburgh, Scotland. Schäfer is delighted that Osler is considering taking the position of Chair of Medicine at Edinburgh. Schäfer is working hard to convince the Curators to invite Osler, but ultimately they have the last word. He has enlisted Turner, Allbutt, Burdon-Sanderson, Foster, Lord Lister, Brunton, and Pye Smith to support Osler's candidacy. He encourages Osler to apply for the position once it is advertised. He includes a list of the names of the Curators.
Fragile.
