Letter to Henry Y. Satterlee, founder of the Washington National Cathedral. In full: “Many congratulations on your recovery! I hope my secretary answered Mrs. Satterlee's kind note. Thanks so much for the kind invitation to meet the Archbishop—so sorry to have missed the honor of meeting him. I have only just returned from St. Louis. Please tell Mrs. Saterlee [sic] that I am a parson's son and consider Bishops and curates members of my bodily fold so that I never deal with them as ordinary patients—in the financial sense.” Double-matted and framed with an image of Osler to an overall size of 17 x 20.75. In fine condition. RR Auction COA.
