Title:

Letter from William Osler to Henry Barton Jacobs

Creator:

Osler, William

Recipient:

Jacobs, Henry Barton

Date:

19 June 1911

Description:

In this letter, Osler continued a discussion about getting some of Dr. J. F. Payne's splendid rare book collection for the Johns Hopkins Library. Payne, a good friend of Osler's who died earlier in 1910, was a pathologist, medical historian, and avid rare book collector; from 1899, he was Harveian Librarian at the Royal College of Physicians. He hoped to raise some funding from philanthropist Henry Phipps or others. A pencil note on this letter says, "The Payne Collection bought at this sale by the Wellcome Medical Historical Library."
