Autograph Letter Signed ("S.D. Gross") to George Randolph Patton, discussing a "so very sad" case history, 2 pp, bifolium, 4to, Philadelphia, August 16, 1869, creases, remnants of paper to verso final leaf from old mount. "How curious it is that such an affection should be so painfully transmitted through so many generations! There are many things in Heaven and earth that our philosophy has not dreamed of, on which are certainly inexplicable in the existing state of the science of medicine!" A friendly letter from Gross thanking Patton for his case histories and addressing one in particular. "Samuel Gross must be ranked among the most important surgeons that the United States has produced. The range of his intellectual work, his prodigious literary output, and his outstanding clinical acumen explain his enormous influence of the practice of medicine and surgery at this critical juncture in American history" (Rutkow, American Surgery: An Illustrated History, 1998, p 165). Accompanied by a steel engraved portrait.
