Dear Miss Noyes
I was very distressed (truly) to leave without saying goodbye but I had such hard work to get away - that con founded text-book kept me tight to the very last moment - I hope by this time you are away on your holiday. I will send by Sept 1st the circular letter which I wish to have sent to all those interested in Libraries asking them to subscribe. I have some treasures for the Library. Muller & Co of Amsterdam had a loft full of fine old books which I looked over. They will send out a box about Sept 15th. Let me know if there's anything special wanted from Germany as it could come in Muller's box. We had a delightful trip to Holland. We came here ten days ago. I have forgotten all about medicine & Doctors & my sole ambition in life now is to reduce my score at golf.
With kindest regards
Sincerely yours,
Wm Osler
I hope your sister keeps well.
