Description

Surgeon (1869–1939) who pioneered many modern neurosurgical techniques and investigated the functions of the pituitary gland. TLS, one page, 5.25 x 6.75, Peter Bent Brigham Hospital letterhead, June 12, 1931. Letter to Mrs. Charles H. Haskins, in full: "Thanks much for your note and for the paper which you say you are sending. I do hope Mr. Haskins is not so ill but that I may send him through you a message of greeting and affection. And if you think by any possibility he would appreciate a visit from a long-time friend and admirer, I hope you will let me know if and when I may be permitted to come and see him." In very fine condition.

From the personal collection of a lifelong collector, teacher, and traveler with a passion for world history. His collecting years ranged from the 1970s to the present day, meaning that several of the premier pieces have not been on the market in decades.
