Letter of the Day: October 11

No 201 W. Franklin St
Baltimore Oct: 11 1887

Surgeon J.S. Billings U.S.A.

My dear Doctor

Having had remarkable success with a recent artificial crystallization of Cystine I send by present mail a new slide of the beautiful but very rare substance.

It was obtained from a lady who had septicemia after a 6 month’s miscarriage, although there can be no relation of causation in its pathological state.

Hoping that you are well – and thanking you for vol. VIII of Index I remain

Yours very sincerely
Christopher Johnston
