Letter to William Osler from James Bovell, Spring-Hill near Charles Town, Nevis, West Indies. As Bovell is uncertain that he will get back to Canada during the year, he asks Osler to carefully pack his Microscopical Apparatus and Specimens. He offers Osler his surgical instruments and Stethoscopes, as well as his microscope stand and eye-pieces. He is very sad to leave the Weston school and Johnson behind, but he is busy with his research and must look after his family.
