Series I. Letters to Mitchell, 1865-1912

 Series

Scope and Contents

From the Collection: The Silas Weir Mitchell correspondence is a small collection which spans the years 1865 to 1938, although many years within that range are not represented. The collection is divided into three series: Letters to Mitchell, Letters from Mitchell, and Other notes. The majority of the letters in this collection are between Mitchell and other physicians, with topics ranging from visits, the College of Physicians of Philadelphia, professional medical opinions, and general pleasantries. The items contained here make a nice addition to the other collections at the College that were created by Mitchell.

Please see the PDF linked under "External documents" for a full listing of the letters held in this collection.
