Clev-Cuy, 1875-1888

The Agnew papers in the National Library of Medicine are arranged alphabetically by name of correspondent; an index to the correspondents in the collection is attached. The correspondence is of a general medical and professional nature. While no particular group of correspondence is particularly extensive, there are several interesting groups of material. Special mention may be made of the correspondence with leaders in ophthalmology such as Henry Willard Williams, with John Shaw Billings on cholera research and the Index Medicus, with Grover Cleveland on the Bureau of Indian Affairs, and the correspondence relating to the creation of a Code of Ethics for the State of New York Medical Society. Some foreign consultation correspondence is also found in the collection, as are several letters from Agnew sent to others.
