Lot Description
[MEDICINE]. OSLER, William (1849-1919). Typed letter signed, 26 June 1914.
Typed letter signed ("Wm Osler") to unidentified "Doctor," on Osler's personal stationery "From the Regius Professor of Medicine, Oxford." 1p, 7 x 4 1/4 in. (creasing, toning).
Osler writes, in full: "I will show that list to Prof. Margoliouth. I think the best way would be for him to see them sometime at the Museum. I am sure he would be interested if you made an engagement. I will come and look at them one day. I should very much like to see them myself."
Osler, considered by some to be the Father of Modern Medicine, was appointed to the Regius Professor of Medicine at Oxford, a position he held until his death in 1919.
Property from the James Milgram, M.D., Collection of Broadsides, Ephemeral Americana, and Historical Documents
