Box of 24 pages sealed in mylar. Written to and by Dr. Willoughby D. Miller. 14 sleeved and numbered papers, in German, seem a draft of a paper, Uber die Pflege... and the brown envelope it had been stored in 3 page letter in (now) brown ink, marked Oct 16th 190(5?) on University of Michigan College of Dental Surgery stationery, signed N. S. Hoff Describes the duties of the Dean of the dental school, and how that might change for Miller to focus on "the development of the scientific aspect of our curriculum." 4 page manuscript (front and back) in (now) gray ink, begins "the teeth are the most polished and hardest of all the bones, but are the most subject to the diseases that cause great pain and can be dangerous..." 1 additional page of notes in small pencil were sleeved with the 4 page mss. 2 notes - maybe prescriptions or care instructions - in German, both from 1984,on Lucae's Apotheke. One has the name A. Giese at the top of the stationery, one says A. Lucae, both have the same Berlin address. Letter and envelope, W.D. Miller to Dr. Reed, of 32 W. 19th St, New York, 1892 postmarked from Berlin. Thanks "the College of Physicians and Surgeons of Dentistry for the enticing offer they have made me." He says he hopes to devote his work to oral bacteriology and histology. An additional folder needing more attention, perhaps slipped in after the initial catalog entry, contains notes from Dr. Kelsey, posthumous correspondence about Miller, a translation of Miller's writing into English, and three photographs that show an East Indian dentist, in one he poses with a patient, in two, alone. |
