The Johns Hopkins Hospital North Broadway Baltimore, July 19th, 1889. Dear Mr. Gilman:- I daresay you will be glad they have a line or two from me giving an account of my stewardship. The machine works smoothly, thanks to your manipulation. Thanks, also to your arrangements, there has been no trouble so far. The number of patients keeps about the same - forty-seven today. The nurses continue satisfactory. I think that we have been very fortunate in our selection. I hope that you are enjoying your well-earned holiday, and I will be glad if you will give my regards to Mrs. Gilman - our lady visitor. Should I get anywhere near Mt. Desert this summer, I shall assuredly come to North East Harbor. Yours very truly, Wm Osler
