Dear Dr. Osler
I am glad to learn that there is some good chance of your obtaining the Professorship of Clinical Medicine at Philadelphia.
The careful and thorough scientific training you originally received, your skill as a teacher, your experience as a physician and as a Pathologist in Montreal, as well as the many valuable contributions you have made towards the advancement of scientific medicine, all mark you out as one admirably adapted for such a post.
Hoping I may soon learn that you have been appointed to this important chair.
Believe me,
Very truly yours,
H. Charlton Bastian.
