“What a tremendously virulent affair the poison must have been”

ALS, one page both sides, 4 x 6, black-bordered 12 Park Crescent letterhead, October 11, 1895. Letter to Dr. William Bulloch, in full: “I am much obliged to you for your report of the puerperal septicemia. What a tremendously virulent affair the poison must have been to produce sloughing of the entire mucous membrane of uterus & vagina. It does seem a great pity that the serum was not used a day earlier.” In fine condition, with soiling to first page. Accompanied by the original mailing envelope, addressed in Lister’s own hand. Pre-certified PSA/DNA.
