Scope and content
Letter to William Osler from W.S. Greenfield, 7, Heriot Row, Edinburgh, Scotland. Greenfield understands that it will be difficult to convince Osler to leave Baltimore. He offers Osler information about the University of Edinburgh to help him make his decision. For the most part, the Edinburgh Medical Faculty supports Osler's candidacy to the Chair of Medicine. He assures Osler that the facilities, laboratory and assistants will be sufficient if he were to come to Edinburgh. He warns Osler that at Edinburgh, Medicine has been looked at as a means to lucrative practice chiefly, and teaching has not been given the attention it deserves. He supplies Osler with salary figures and vacation schedules. He encourages Osler to apply for the job and to cable him with his final decision.
