German Journals and circulate them. I msrfe translat:L**3 some articles into 

 English and have the possibility of selling advantageously my English translation 

 of Graefe's (Berlin) reraarkable articles on eye complaints to the Medical 

 Examiner for which I am indirectly obliged to Dr. Durand since we have a common 

 interest in our botanical work— determination and description of Californian 

 plants. D. 's eyesight is too bad to observe the minute things. However, we live 

 too far apart to work much together and when I take specimens home I don't have 

 the library and cannot compare the collection. Should my practice improve a 

 little bit in the meantime, I am *e not adverse to give a lecture ihn the winter 

 on eye diseases and I also was promised help from a different source which 

 received a Charta from the legislature to found an "Independent med. College" t 

 where everybody can lecture or listen to everything he wants, the Student s pay 

 and they learn the basics from their teachers and can make experiments and can 

 receive a diploma. The old plan and other experiments are very bad and nothing 

 but nonsense 4 Coming out of it. I consider this system very promising for a free 

 decision of what to learn and from which professor who is an authority, however, 

 independent without connections with any other Institution . However, he has to 

 have the enrollment of his students .. 



With best greetings to you and yours, Mrs. Dora and Georgie especially 

 (i.e. all and everybody), 



Yours, 

 Theo. C. Hilgard, M.D. 



Please give my greetings to Dr. Wislic,
