Letter to Campbell Palmer Howard from William Osler, From the Regius Professor of Medicine, Oxford, Oxfordshire, England. Thanks for his cable. (refers to the burning at McGill). His only regret is about the books and specimens. He hopes that many of them have been saved. He thinks that the burning would turn out to be a good thing : the old building was a compromise. Civilities. Asks him to thank Marjorie for her letter.
