Letter to William Osler from Edward A. Sharpey Schäfer, University of Edinburgh, Edinburgh, Scotland. Schäfer reports that several important people are supporting Osler's candidacy to the Chair of Medicine at Edinburgh. He has learned from Greenfield that Osler wants a guarantee for a clinical laboratory and assistants if he were to come to Scotland. Schäfer writes that no guarantee can be made as the electors are outside of the University and have no such power. But he tells Osler not to worry, for the University will surely provide him with whatever he needs if elected. [CUS417/96.24 attached on reverse side]
