It doesn't have anything to do with medicine otherwise.<BR/><BR/>You're thinking of this:<BR/>OHA 315<BR/><BR/> * Statz Notebook, 1855-1865<BR/> * .01 cubic foot, .33 box.<BR/> * No finding aid, arranged, inactive, restricted.<BR/> * Notebook of Sgt. John Statz, 7th New York Volunteers, which stopped a bullet during the Civil War. Contains copies of letters to the U.S. Legation in Berlin written by Statz while he was in Cologne during the 1850s.<BR/><BR/>I showed them this:<BR/><BR/>OHA 269<BR/><BR/> * Pearce Collection, 1895-1981<BR/> * .25 cubic foot, 1 box.<BR/> * Finding aid available, arranged, inactive, unrestricted.<BR/> * Papers of Dr. Jesse Pearce, who served in World War I and II. Includes diaries (1917, 1919), a pharmacopeia (1917), a splint manual (1919), a French/English dictionary used in World War I, certificates, pamphlets, and photographs, several of World War I medicine. <BR/><BR/>'Cause they were your faves, man, not mine.

Or am I confusing what you showed them with another item in your extensive collection? Also, why didn't you show them my other two favorites -- the document that President Lincoln signed or the hospital roster of patients who survived the atomic bomb dropped by the U.S. on Japan?<BR/>Steven Solomon<BR/>PAO, 2000-2007<BR/>NMHM/AFIPSteven Solomonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13614668971830749215noreply@blogger.com
