Bell, Queen’s College, Kingston; a small envelope containing notes to John Bell titled “Dr. J. Bell, House Apothecary, Montreal General Hospital”; various letters from people seeking medical help; and notes relating to his activities as a militia physician.
Dr. Ochterlony is identified in a later note as John Bell's medical superior in the U.S. Army in Louisville during the U. S. Civil War.
