  Complains of Mackenzie being a poor correspondent. Pearson is "behaving with more decency." Rainy likes the Eye Infirmary - Dr Farre is his "great favourite." Travers "is a very pleasant sort of fellow." Lawrence is "more reserved." "Wee Scudy is dashing away here in grand stile." . Has met Mr Hodgson who is "publishing on the arteries." Hodgson wishes to have details of the case of obstructed aorta which occurred at Glasgow. Could Mackenzie or Wilson to write an account of it. Also requests a drawing of the preparation which he believes Ferguson has made. Mackenzie is to ask Dr Graham and Dr G.C. Monteith if they have any objection to the case being published.
