Letter from Featherstone Lake Osler to the Bishop of Toronto [Transcript] Featherstone Osler asks to be relocated to parish in an area where his children will have access to a good education, somewhere that would not require constant traveling. Two of his children have already received a good education, but there are six others that he cannot afford to send to school.. [Description courtesy of McGill University.]. About this transcript: Soon after Osler's death in 1919, Lady Osler asked their good friend Dr. Harvey Cushing to write a biography. For this project, Cushing gathered a wide variety of material, including a substantial amount of Osler correspondence and other memorabilia borrowed from Osler's family, friends, and colleagues. He employed three secretaries to transcribe these documents, and later donated the transcripts (along with his other working materials) to the Osler Library. Because many of the original documents were returned to the owners, the Cushing transcripts constitute the largest and most accessible collection of Osler's correspondence.. Harvey Cushing's "Life of Sir William Osler" was published by Oxford University Press in 1925, and was awarded a Pulitzer Prize in 1926. Produced: 12 September 1854 Osler Library of the History of Medicine, McGill University.
