Letter to Arthur John Jex-Blake from William Osler, Grand Hotel de la Ville, Milan, Italy. Hopes to be in Boston May 20th. His leave is for the annus medium so he will not return until the end of June. Regrets not being at their dinner. Hopes that Curzon will come. He saw Malpighi and Morgagni at Padua. The Aula was wonderful. Congratulations on his election. Civilities.

Letter to Henry Barton Jacobs from William Osler, Hotel de la Ville, Milan, Italy. Sorry that he has been knocked out. Informs him that he is going back to Oxford to take care of matters concerning the new laboratories and clinics at the Radcliffe which he would like to try to settle before the end of next term. An old surgeon, Briscoe has given L80 000 to it. Enjoyed Florence. Information on the books purchased and the antiquariats of Florence, Venice. Bologna and Padua were quite up to his expectations. The Aula is wonderful. He saw the six plates of Vesal, 1538 which is superior to the 1543 one. Would like the Press to reproduce it. Good comment on the Library work of Italians. Not much in Verona. Will see Golgi at Ravia. Sorry to have had Chatard change the date for the meeting unnecessarily. Civilities.

Letter to Leonard L. Mackall from William Osler, Milan, Italy. He bought the Gesner in Bologna. Will look up the Johnston (a poet) in Oxford. Will send the Gesner to the College of Physicians who do not have one. Information on the books purchased in Florence and Venice. Olschki of Florence has the finest collection of old books he had seen. Martelli of Bologna is very good. Hoepli of Milan is disappointing. Sail April 13th and will be back around July 1st.
