[With:] Autograph letter signed ("James Paget"), to Geo. Lowdell. London, 27 July 1870. Two pages, 4 1/2 x 7 in., on personal letterhead (folds, adhesive on verso). Paget writes: "I am sorry that Mr. Watson did not so much as mention your name to me or (I think) to Sir Wm. Jenner. Sir William sent him with a note to me & I had only to write back my opinion. We were agreed that the greatest probability is that he has had wide-spread suppuration in the substance of a large medullary tumor, but that there was just a hope, a bare hope, that there may be only suppuration in the abdominal wall, with very wide surrounding induration. On this hope Sir William prescribed for him and I would maintain the hope as long as may be with any truth."
Together, 2 autograph letters signed by James Paget, English surgeon and pathologist best remembered for naming Paget's disease.
