Scope and Contents
From the Series:
This small collection of letters, mostly written by Samuel D. Gross to various physicians, 1854-1883, was probably assembled and retained for its autograph value. Major correspondents are John Ashhurst, Jr., Rene LaRoche, and George W. Norris. Subjects include surgical procedures and consultations, personal matters, a projected contribution by Gross to Ashhurst's International encyclopedia of surgery and Gross' Lives of eminent American physicians and surgeons of the nineteenth century. Also included are a holograph recipe written by Gross, circa 1861, and a signature cutting.
