Letter to Arnold Carl Klebs from William Osler, 13, Norham Gardens, Oxford, Oxfordshire, England. Mentions that he is going to America in April for the opening of the Phipps (Psychiatric) Institute and for his (Silliman) lectures, at which he is very busy. The Historical Section has had a good start. Invites him and Sudhoff to come with a paper in the Autumn. Incites him to devote some time every year to the historical subject. Suggests that it would be nice to arrange to spend a little time with Sudhoff.

Letter to Arnold Carl Klebs from William Osler, 13, Norham Gardens, Oxford, Oxfordshire, England. Thanks for the Ufenau pictures. He has been on the look out for years for an original edition of the de Guaiaci, Hutten, 1519, but has never met one. Mention of the latter's work in the reformation and his role as the fons and origo of the national spirit of Germany. Asks him if he is going to the September meeting in Washington. He will probably not be able to attend it because he is lecturing at Yale in October.

Letter to Arnold Carl Klebs from William Osler, 13, Norham Gardens, Oxford, Oxfordshire, England. He has been interested in Hutten for years, and would like to get the reference to the expression "winged worms" as a cause of syphilis.

Letter to Arnold Carl Klebs from William Osler, 13, Norham Gardens, Oxford, Oxfordshire, England. Jokes about Klebs' attack of gout. Agrees that Tissot is well worth working up. Mention of the several books he has of him and biographical anecdote. Asks him if he is going to Rome (at the Tuberculosis Congress). Hopes to spend the month of April in Italy. Klebs' book was of great help in his revising of the section on tuberculosis in his text-book. Mention of positive comments from several London men. Request for an old picture and of a modern photograph of an island called Ufenau in Lake Zurich, on which Ulrich von Hutten died. Asks him if he had read the life of von Hutten by Strauss. Asks him to look for Conrad Gesner works for him. Thinks that he is probably the only really respectable Swiss in history. Civilities.

Letter to Arnold Carl Klebs from William Osler, 13, Norham Gardens, Oxford, Oxfordshire, England. Thanks for the memorandum about Hutten. Details about the many editions of his books. At the Payne's library, he bought Hutten's stirring appeal "Ad Principes Germanos ut Bellum Turcis Inferant", 1518. Would be glad to hear about the monuments. Mentions that he has many Gesner's books and that he is devoted to his memory. Opinion on Von Hutten' life which was not more dissipated than the average man of his period. He is just reading "Epistolas obscororum vivorum." If that is true, it is not surprising that he dedicated his "De Guaiaci" to Archbishop Albert.

Letter to Arnold Carl Klebs from William Osler, 13, Norham Gardens, Oxford, Oxfordshire, England. States that if in connection with the Hopkins one could get a foundation like that of Puschmann (Institute for History of Medicine, Leiptzig), it would stimulate the kind of work mentioned by Klebs, who certainly has many of the qualifications, youth, interest and brains, to take charge of such a place. Will talk with Welch about it, in April.

Letter to Arnold Carl Klebs from William Osler, 13, Norham Gardens, Oxford, Oxfordshire, England. Sends him the Journal of Pathology, in which is a good notice of his father. Interested to hear that there is an Erastus" Stipendium" at Basle. Comments about it.

Letter to Arnold Carl Klebs from William Osler, 13, Norham Gardens, Oxford, Oxfordshire, England. W. is a shocking crank, and Klebs' remarks were appropriate and will do good. The College of Physicians are pretty sore having given him the Parkes-Weber prize. Mention that the text-book is on the last lap.

Letter to Arnold Carl Klebs from William Osler, 7, Norham Gardens, Oxford, Oxfordshire, England. Reference to the picture (pilgrimage at Louis' tomb). He will send his remarks next week. Would like to put the names of all the men on back of the frame. Asking news about Appleton's T. B. book. He had referred him to them but , according to Broome, they possibly had some New York fellow in view. Invitation to come in Oxford on his way to St. Moritz.

Letter to Arnold Carl Klebs from William Osler, 13, Norham Gardens, Oxford, Oxfordshire, England. Explains that the attitude is exactly the same that which they take in England, pretending that the behaviour of the Germans and the writings of the professoriate are the stigmata of a pronounced degeneracy. Says that it is hopeless to expect that they can agree on the subject, and proposes not to discuss it. Asks him to let them know when he will come to England. Mentions that they had a splendid meeting at the Historical Section of the Royal Society of Medicine, about Astruc on whom Alexander Simpson of Edinburgh read a paper. Glad that Cushing is coming to Paris.
