FROM HARVEY L. BYRD, M.D.,
Professor of Obstetrics in the Medical Department of Washington University of Baltimore, Maryland.
Baltimore, Sept. 1869.
Dr. Geo. H. Napheys, Philadelphia—
Dear Sir: I have examined with much pleasure and satisfaction your work on “The Physical Life of Woman,” and do not hesitate to commend it most warmly to our countrywomen, for whose benefit it is intended. I congratulate you on the felicitous manner in which you have treated so difficult a subject, and would recommend it to the public as supplying a want that has long been felt in this country.
Omne verum utile dictu, and what can be more proper or more useful than that woman should be made acquainted with the great laws of her being and the duties for which she was created?
Very respectfully, your obed't servant,
HARVEY L. BYRD.
