| Description Of Item | From the collection of William Pulteney Alison. It is not known to whom the letter is addressed. He recounts how he acquired Alison's notebooks, case books and lectures on the death of Alison's niece and that he had another box of Alison's writings in his house. He wished it would all go to 'the library' (not specified but possibly the library of the Royal College of Physicians of Edinburgh) on the event of his decease. |
