Tom Toles Cartoons, 1969-1973.
Description
An account of the resource
The cartoon is mightier than the riot
<p>Throughout the 1970s, college campuses were torn apart by protests. Students sought a voice and demanded to be heard on matters ranging from actions of the university administration, to the Vietnam War. The State University of New York at Buffalo was no different. Student movements were constantly pulsing through college campuses, but UB differed from others, in that students had a very influential ally behind the scenes. Tom Toles emerged as an inspiring, progressive political cartoonist during his years at UB. His cartoons could be seen in almost every issue of the university student-run newspaper, <em>The Spectrum</em>, from 1969 to 1973.</p>
<p>Toles' cartoons acted as a voice for students when their voices were hoarse from protest, with often dark depictions of what youth saw society doing wrong. Cartoons of the university president were intermingled with cartoons of U.S. President Richard Nixon, at whom the students were often angry due to infractions on the Vietnam warfront. Toles' cartoons often accompanied articles written by student journalists, and in his later years focused less on inequality, the war, and protest, and more on environmental issues, nutrition, drug epidemics, and mental health. His cartoons retained his distinct point of view, regardless of the topic. Not all of his work was dark, however. Toles drew a number of cartoons to accompany movie reviews, television show critiques, theater and play reviews, and announcements of local rock concerts.</p>
<p>The political cartoons as drawn by Tom Toles and depicted in this collection show the student body's view of the world in the 1970s and are a great resource for those interested in student life during this time. After graduating from UB, Toles illustrated cartoons for the <em>Buffalo Courier Express</em>, and later for the <em>Buffalo News</em> newspapers. In 1990, Tom Toles won a Pulitzer Prize for his work and today is a cartoonist for <em>The Washington Post</em>.</p>

An account of the resource
The four seventeenth-century folio editions of <em>Mr. William Shakespeare’s Comedies, Histories, & Tragedies</em> were the first published collections of William Shakespeare’s plays and consequently are some of the most significant titles in all of English literature. The copies in the Rare & Special Books Collection were donated to the University Libraries by Thomas B. Lockwood (1873-1947) along with the rest of his personal collection of rare books in 1935. That same year the original Lockwood Memorial Library opened on UB’s South Campus, thanks to the financial support of Lockwood and his wife Marion Birge Lockwood. Along with the Shakespeare folios, Lockwood owned many of the most important and collectible first and other editions from the history of western printing.

Description
An account of the resource
The four seventeenth-century folio editions of <em>Mr. William Shakespeare’s Comedies, Histories, & Tragedies</em> were the first published collections of William Shakespeare’s plays and consequently are some of the most significant titles in all of English literature. The copies in the Rare & Special Books Collection were donated to the University Libraries by Thomas B. Lockwood (1873-1947) along with the rest of his personal collection of rare books in 1935. That same year the original Lockwood Memorial Library opened on UB’s South Campus, thanks to the financial support of Lockwood and his wife Marion Birge Lockwood. Along with the Shakespeare folios, Lockwood owned many of the most important and collectible first and other editions from the history of western printing.

Title
A name given to the resource
Frances Proctor Ames Collection
Description
An account of the resource
In the 1880s, it was difficult to find a woman who worked in any profession outside the home, much less a female physician. In 1885 Frances Proctor Ames graduated from the University of Buffalo Medical Department and began practicing as an obstetrician/gynecologist in Western New York. Dr. Ames was born in 1856 and was one of the first women to graduate from UB’s medical school. This collection features letters received by Frances Proctor Ames until her death in 1929. The majority of the correspondence is between Dr. Ames and Louise Downer, a classmate. The remaining correspondence is between Dr. Ames and a Dr. W.O.A. Langs, who also practiced in the area and graduated from UB’s medical school, as well as a mentor, Dr. John Eddy. There are several examples of letters sent from patients, asking Dr. Ames for her assistance with childbirth or a health emergency. The collection also features prescriptions written by Dr. Ames, medical notes scribbled on scraps of paper, treatment plans, and old examinations from her time at UB. Dr. Ames’ thesis can be read as a part of the collection, and is surprisingly short. From the prescriptions to the thesis, this collection reflects a time when patients sent their doctors letters asking for a house call when they were ill. With constant changes in medical research and technology today, it is important to appreciate just how far medicine has come.

Title
A name given to the resource
Frances Proctor Ames Collection
Description
An account of the resource
In the 1880s, it was difficult to find a woman who worked in any profession outside the home, much less a female physician. In 1885 Frances Proctor Ames graduated from the University of Buffalo Medical Department and began practicing as an obstetrician/gynecologist in Western New York. Dr. Ames was born in 1856 and was one of the first women to graduate from UB’s medical school. This collection features letters received by Frances Proctor Ames until her death in 1929. The majority of the correspondence is between Dr. Ames and Louise Downer, a classmate. The remaining correspondence is between Dr. Ames and a Dr. W.O.A. Langs, who also practiced in the area and graduated from UB’s medical school, as well as a mentor, Dr. John Eddy. There are several examples of letters sent from patients, asking Dr. Ames for her assistance with childbirth or a health emergency. The collection also features prescriptions written by Dr. Ames, medical notes scribbled on scraps of paper, treatment plans, and old examinations from her time at UB. Dr. Ames’ thesis can be read as a part of the collection, and is surprisingly short. From the prescriptions to the thesis, this collection reflects a time when patients sent their doctors letters asking for a house call when they were ill. With constant changes in medical research and technology today, it is important to appreciate just how far medicine has come.

894 Genesee St. 84<br />Mar 2nd<br /><br />My Dear Friend:<br /><br />It seems nearly<br />a year since I left you at<br />the "Old iron gate." The lectures<br />were uninterrupted and some<br />of them very interesting. At<br />times I was sorry you did<br />not stay. at others glad that<br />you did not.<br />Dr. Mason had some of the<br />most embarrassing lectures it<br />has ever been my misfortune<br />to listen to. I sat with my<br />Guardian on one side and<br />Mr Hatch on the other.<br />and – well - I found two<br /><br />gray hairs on my head the<br />day following - so you may<br />judge the nature of them.<br />but as there is always an<br />end to every thing. so those<br />pleasures and pains of last<br />year are over. I think on the<br />whole. the young men<br />were very respectful. and<br />most of the faculty. though<br />I hardly think we shall<br />ever pine for Dr Mann's countenance<br />after we learn our<br />"Alma Mater"<br />I wonder if you have heard<br />any thing about Commencement.<br />My Preceptor came as<br />I expected and accompanied<br />me to "Concert Hall". Mr Westhinghous<br />was one of the ushers<br />came and spoke with me. meantime<br />looking at Dr. Dewry<br /><br />Mr Goldberg was usher also<br />and gave us very nice<br />seats - second from the front.<br />Dr. Park's lecture was all that<br />I hoped it would be. He gave<br />that contemptible journal<br />a good hit. (the one that<br />spoke slightingly of him)<br />I send you a paper and<br />programme with this.<br />Mip Culver was dressed<br />in brown silk. a little<br />bonnet to match her dress<br />light brown gloves. She<br />appeared very self possessed.<br />as you might imagine<br />I shook hands and congratulated<br />her. She was<br />very pleasant, and said<br />she hoped I would have no<br />trouble in getting through.<br />She received a very handsome<br /><br />bouquet.<br />Most of the gentlemen received<br />baskets and bouquets, and<br />it certainly made me feel<br />sad to think we should miss<br />their faces next year.<br />Poor Mrs Armidoro was [pluche?]<br />I surely think she was as<br />well prepared as Mrs Kemball.<br />The latter appeared<br />just as meek as M D. as when<br />a common "Layman."<br />I saw Mrs Burchard and<br />bade her "Good bye." She<br />spoke of you very lovingly<br />The long garved individual<br />walked off with his sheep<br />skin. Dont you pity his first<br />patient if he ever has one?<br />Well my dear I must say<br /><br />good night for the clock of Louise tells<br />me I have but<br />little time for the fulfilment<br />of my many other duties.<br />your loving friend<br />Louise Downer.<br /><br />I will direct your letter coarse next time and<br />you will think you have one from Ketchum.<br /><br />if you write-immediately direct<br />to 394 but if not to Peterboro<br />Mad. Co. I could write another<br />letter. Now please let me hear<br />soon- L.D.

<div>SILVER LAKE<br />Peterburg Apr. 14 84</div>
<div></div>
<div>My Dear Friend:-</div>
<div><span> I received your</span></div>
<div>welcome letter, some days</div>
<div>ago. And I was very glad</div>
<div>to hear from you - our</div>
<div>college life seems all a</div>
<div>dream to me now. My</div>
<div>school has been in</div>
<div>session a week and I</div>
<div>am enjoing my work</div>
<div>very much - I am getting</div>
<div>a little over seven</div>
<div>dollars a week, and that</div>
<div>lightens the burden considerably</div>
<div>when I think</div>
<div>of the expenses of next</div>
<div></div>
<div>year. I have one of the</div>
<div>cosiest little houses in</div>
<div>the world. We have a</div>
<div>grove back of our cottage</div>
<div>with a summer house</div>
<div>in it. And as the warm</div>
<div>days come I begrudge</div>
<div>my time to sit in it</div>
<div>and study dry facts</div>
<div>[couned?] by Dr. Witthaus</div>
<div>but repairing our house</div>
<div>last year together with</div>
<div>painting and papering</div>
<div>besides new furniture</div>
<div>to say nothing of our</div>
<div>expensies in B- make</div>
<div>me altogether too stingy</div>
<div>to be idle this usmmer</div>
<div>I wrote the above in my</div>
<div>room at school with the</div>
<div>little ones running in</div>
<div></div>
<div>and out at recess - now</div>
<div>I am in our dinng room</div>
<div>at home. My brother sits</div>
<div>here beside me writing</div>
<div>too. Mother is spending</div>
<div>the vening out. You must</div>
<div>certainly come and see</div>
<div>me sometime. Either while</div>
<div>you are a common "lay</div>
<div>man" or an M.D. I shall</div>
<div>enjoy it just as well. Either</div>
<div>way.</div>
<div></div>
<div>Mip Carroll was called</div>
<div>home by the dangerous</div>
<div>illness of her father. I</div>
<div>have not found her address,</div>
<div>so have not written</div>
<div>to her - but doubtless in</div>
<div>the chaos that still surrounds</div>
<div>my trunk I</div>
<div>shall find it somewhere</div>
<div></div>
<div>I attended the funeral of a</div>
<div>cousin Sunday (Easter) of a</div>
<div>cousin. He was 32 years old.</div>
<div>A post mortem revealed a</div>
<div>liver 3 1/2 times too large - and a</div>
<div>sleen - 8 times. He suffered much.</div>
<div></div>
<div>I hope your work is pleasant</div>
<div>to you - As for my nursing</div>
<div>I love babies too [??ee] to put</div>
<div>their lives in jeopardy</div>
<div>I have not studied as much</div>
<div>as I expected to - Can not</div>
<div>tell whether or not I shall</div>
<div>be prepared to take the [Surges?]</div>
<div>shall take part at least.</div>
<div>Our dear Dr. Park closed his</div>
<div>address to the graduated with</div>
<div>this: "Thou enterest this world</div>
<div>weeping while all around</div>
<div>thee smile. [?live] so to [live?]</div>
<div>that thou mayest depart in</div>
<div>smiles while all around</div>
<div>thee weep." Wasn't that [wordy?]</div>
<div>of him? Now do not neglect</div>
<div>me so long again. I will accept</div>
<div>anything. Even a postal.</div>
<div>With love - L.D.</div>

Title
A name given to the resource
Frances Proctor Ames Collection
Description
An account of the resource
In the 1880s, it was difficult to find a woman who worked in any profession outside the home, much less a female physician. In 1885 Frances Proctor Ames graduated from the University of Buffalo Medical Department and began practicing as an obstetrician/gynecologist in Western New York. Dr. Ames was born in 1856 and was one of the first women to graduate from UB’s medical school. This collection features letters received by Frances Proctor Ames until her death in 1929. The majority of the correspondence is between Dr. Ames and Louise Downer, a classmate. The remaining correspondence is between Dr. Ames and a Dr. W.O.A. Langs, who also practiced in the area and graduated from UB’s medical school, as well as a mentor, Dr. John Eddy. There are several examples of letters sent from patients, asking Dr. Ames for her assistance with childbirth or a health emergency. The collection also features prescriptions written by Dr. Ames, medical notes scribbled on scraps of paper, treatment plans, and old examinations from her time at UB. Dr. Ames’ thesis can be read as a part of the collection, and is surprisingly short. From the prescriptions to the thesis, this collection reflects a time when patients sent their doctors letters asking for a house call when they were ill. With constant changes in medical research and technology today, it is important to appreciate just how far medicine has come.

Aug 11 84 <br />Peterburg 9.P.M. <br />My Dear Friend:-- <br />My digestion <br />was very much aided to <br />night- by the arrival of <br />your letter. My brother <br />handed it to me when <br />I was at the tea table. <br />I intended writing you <br />this evening regarding <br />rooming together next <br />term. Have you made <br />any arrangements about <br />it? Mother thinks she <br />will remain at home this <br />winter so I thought if <br />you would like to <br /><br />room with me I should <br />be delighted to have you. <br />I am not positive about <br />the rooms I had last <br />year. but think I can <br />get them if not we <br />could get others. I paid <br />six dollars a month. It <br />seemed a little high. but <br />I was alone on the flat <br />only at night when a <br />young lady occupied <br />a room opposite. then <br />too. I had a nice place <br />for coal on the same <br />floor with me. and <br />water. The closet was <br />down stairs. but it <br />mattered little as <br />I was down so much. <br />I too am very sorry <br /><br />about Mrs. Burchard. <br />I hoped she would be <br />near us somewhere. I <br />think you could have <br />Mr Sherman's seat next <br />term as he will help. <br />or Casey and occupy a <br />seat on the other side <br />You do not know how <br />you cheered my heart <br />by speaking of Ketchum <br />I do believe his face <br />will look good because <br />there will be so many <br />strangers. <br />Mip Carroll. I do not <br />think will be with us <br />either <br />I am as ignorant as <br />ever it seems to me <br />about the study of <br /><br />medicine as I have studied <br />very little. but like your <br />self I hope to improve <br />this winter. <br />I have a stove. + bed +c. <br />I took my carpet home <br />and shall not bring it <br />again as it hardly paid <br />me for the trouble. <br />I wonder if Mrs Simonet <br />will make her appearance <br />this year. <br />The time is fast flying <br />and we shall soon <br />be bearing all the mortifications <br />that we did <br />last year. But we can bear <br />a year or two of unpleasantness <br />for all the years <br />of prosperity <br />that will <br />doubtless <br />follow such <br />shining <br />lights as <br />we are. <br />I hope to <br />hear from <br />you soon <br />and hope <br />it will be <br />favorable <br />to our <br />"drinking <br />from the <br />same canteen <br /><br />this winter. My sister still lives on Genesee <br />Street. She + <br />little son all <br />with us now <br />with much <br />love. <br />L. Downer. <br />Please excuse <br />my lack of .,;: <br />+c +c. <br />It was my birthday <br />Sunday. I arrived at <br />the juvenile age of 26. <br /><br />Earl sends a kiss to you.

SILVERCANE <br />Peterboro Aug 20 -84. <br />Dear Friend:- <br />Yours received <br />the 15th and I should <br />have answered long <br />ere this but have been <br />wanting to hear from our <br />rooms. but as yet have <br />heard nothing. I will write <br />again this week. I should <br />prefer those rooms as they <br />are so clean. and our coal <br />can be on the same floor <br />with us. <br />Now about the young lady <br />I have no objections <br />whatever. on the contrary <br />I am very glad to be <br /><br />of service to any one. who <br />is anxious to get an education. <br />It will be quite a <br />long walk but there is <br />a belt line which goes <br />by the Normal School and <br />she can get student car <br />tickets cheaper. <br />O dear. I am so terribly <br />ignorant about medicine <br />I thought I surely would <br />have more time to study <br />but I hope to learn <br />something this winter. <br />What delightful weather <br />we are having now. <br />I wonder if Mrs Simonet <br />will be there. I know <br />you hope so. <br />If we girls room together<br />it will lessen <br /><br />our expenses greatly. <br />Please tell me the name <br />and age of our new <br />friend who is to room <br />with us. I hope we may <br />all get along nicely. <br />and why not. She will <br />be home about two <br />oclock. we–well. I <br />am afraid not till <br />morning. <br />I hope Aunt Susan, <br />will not be there. some <br />way I was tired of <br />seeing her though I <br />ought to be ashamed <br />to own it. <br />I will try and learn <br />something about the <br />rooms before I write <br />again. <br /><br />What course will this <br />young lady take? I <br />attempted the Normal <br />School and was de <br />lighted with it. <br />My sister wishes to <br />be remembered. <br />Who do you sit beside <br />I do dread sitting up <br />that dude. Mr Sherman <br />will get through. this <br />year. I think. If you <br />bring his sheets and a <br />coverlid. I will do the <br />same. for our bed. My <br />sister will let us take <br />a bed. I have a stove. <br />I guess we can fix up <br />quite an old maids <br />house. With much love yours truly <br />Louise Downer. <br />Remember me to the <br />young lady.

Yes bring your <br />cookbook. and such <br />compounds as will be <br />concocted will rival <br />those of Dr. Wilthaus. <br />We will undoubtedly <br />buy more than we <br />make. I am sorry that <br />that young lady can <br />not come. for her sake. <br />may be she + I can <br />board together an <br />other year. should we meet sometime <br /><br />this winter. You + <br />I will be more quiet <br />of course alone. <br />My dear child I am so <br />ignorant I fear I can <br />not go up our 8 branches <br />but mean to <br />study hard anyway <br />The school where I <br />taught this summer <br />was offered me this <br />winter but I made <br />them a sweeping <br />bow. till next summer. <br />I mean to get enough <br />blank books to last me <br />through the winter <br />I had such times <br />before. <br />It is lovely weather <br />now I dislike to leave <br /><br />home for the dusty <br />though I shall be glad <br />to see you and other <br />familiar faces. <br />Hip joint disease I think <br />would be a very good <br />subject. I think. for a <br />thesis. Dont worry about <br />it. My brother says he <br />doesn't believe they <br />read more than one <br />half of any of them. <br />Excuse haste + cremate <br />and I will do as much <br />some time for you <br />I must post this as <br />I fear I may miss <br />the mail in the Morn <br />My sister wishes to be <br />remembered. <br />with-best wishes to our <br />future housekeeping <br />I am yours Aff. <br />Louisa Downer <br /><br />Bring your kettle + a <br />pillow.

Title
A name given to the resource
Frances Proctor Ames Collection
Description
An account of the resource
In the 1880s, it was difficult to find a woman who worked in any profession outside the home, much less a female physician. In 1885 Frances Proctor Ames graduated from the University of Buffalo Medical Department and began practicing as an obstetrician/gynecologist in Western New York. Dr. Ames was born in 1856 and was one of the first women to graduate from UB’s medical school. This collection features letters received by Frances Proctor Ames until her death in 1929. The majority of the correspondence is between Dr. Ames and Louise Downer, a classmate. The remaining correspondence is between Dr. Ames and a Dr. W.O.A. Langs, who also practiced in the area and graduated from UB’s medical school, as well as a mentor, Dr. John Eddy. There are several examples of letters sent from patients, asking Dr. Ames for her assistance with childbirth or a health emergency. The collection also features prescriptions written by Dr. Ames, medical notes scribbled on scraps of paper, treatment plans, and old examinations from her time at UB. Dr. Ames’ thesis can be read as a part of the collection, and is surprisingly short. From the prescriptions to the thesis, this collection reflects a time when patients sent their doctors letters asking for a house call when they were ill. With constant changes in medical research and technology today, it is important to appreciate just how far medicine has come.

Home. Mar. 11 83 <br />Dear Doctor: <br />We have played <br />with that title so often that <br />I can not be serious with <br />it. but I am so glad for <br />you. God bless the Curators <br />from this day forth. My <br />Preceptor was there. He sat <br />on the platform with the <br />Professors. He said Mip Morehouse <br />stood in front of <br />him when she received <br />her diploma. So you may <br />remember him <br />I think you did well taking <br />all things into consideration <br /><br />doing your own work washing <br />and all. It was too bad <br />anyway. <br />My Preceptor was elected <br />president of the association <br />So you attended the <br />banquet? Do tell me all <br />about it when you get <br />time. I have not heard <br />from my sister by letter <br />tho she sent me Mr [Shermans?] <br />photo. + a paper. <br />Mip Knapp has written [+] <br />S—. Mr Campbell dont <br />you think. He said the <br />faculty would not give <br />him his diploma till <br />next December as his time <br />was not up. so he with <br />drew from [?]. tho he said <br />he made 34 points in those <br />he took. (five branches) <br /><br />I was surprised of course <br />to hear from him. He takes <br />the Spring Course. I don't admire <br />him but I have reasons <br />to respect him. <br />I do not see how Spencer <br />& [Griew?] got through. <br />Crowley too. + many others <br />Mip. Rhodes did not go up <br />I judge. She & I will look <br />nicely together next year. <br />If she goes up there (I doubt <br />it.) <br />I suppose you retire at 7- <br />& sleep till 12. I hope so. <br />If you are not sick in bed <br />at this moment I shall be <br />glad. <br />It seems rather strange <br />to be living like "White Folks" <br />once more. I should think <br />you would often hear my <br /><br />melodious [?] voice asking "Did <br />you put any salt in the potatoes <br />Now do write & tell me "Vat <br />ye doin?" Does your face <br />shine with pleasure? I hope <br />so. Dont get blue under <br />any considerations. Try & <br />cultivate my loving lovely <br />disposition. I never cry Sunday <br />night when you are hungry. <br />Our Winter together <br />was pleasant after all. There <br />was much more of sunshine <br />than storm. <br />Do write soon. Remember me <br />to your people. & be sure + <br />prescribe Camphoreti Linctura <br />Opii to your first patient <br />with much love. <br />Louise <br /><br />Mother is much <br />better <br /><br />[You?] might down <br />[grhn???e] [?] have your <br />leg taken off. <br />Mip M. was <br />dressed in white <br />How did you like <br />that eh?

Peterboro Sep. 10 85. <br /><br />My Dear Friend- <br />It hardly seems <br />possible that it is nearly time <br />for me to return to the old <br />College. with all the embarrassments <br />and trials that we met <br />with there & then to miss so <br />many faces that were dear to us <br />makes it doubly unpleasant. <br />My dear I shall miss you most <br />of all. Our cosy times on Sundays <br />comes to me as I write <br />Do you remember our improvised <br />bed on the floor- that <br />had to be so rudely snatched <br />into the bed room- all because <br />of an untimely "knock." <br /><br />We had good times in old <br />397 & I hope sometime when <br />we revisit our old alma <br />mater we may wander <br />through those rooms again. <br />I am illy prepared I <br />can assure you for this year <br />in school. My own health <br />has never been so wretchedly <br />"tired like". I taught school <br />had 34 under my "penetrating <br />(?) gaze- then after my <br />duties were done in that <br />direction mother was sick <br />with acute dysentery. & so I <br />have had only 3 weeks to be <br />ready in. <br /><br />I shall board with Miss <br />Knapp till mother comes which <br />I hope will be in 6 or 5 weeks <br />How I shall stand the <br />ordeal- I know not <br /><br />I am to room with her for <br />$3.50. Mrs P. talks encouragingly <br />about the prospects as <br />I know you would were <br />you here. but if there is <br />any thing left of me after <br />a weeks devotion I will <br />write you- from no. 50. Cottage <br />Street. Buffalo. N.Y. <br />I am glad to learn that <br />brighter times are in the <br />future for you- Keep <br />cheerful. <br />"There's never a night without <br />a day <br />Or an evening without <br />a dawning <br />And the darkest hour so the <br />proverb goes <br />Is the hour before the <br />dawning" <br />There is one favor I <br /><br />must ask of you. Pray for <br />me every night that I may <br />get through this year. <br />I heard a splendid sermon <br />this morning from the text <br />"Is thy heart right?" <br />Tell me all about yourself in <br />your next letter. How is your <br />dear friend? I am so glad <br />your sister has a good husband. <br />I hope to see her some <br />time. You were very kind to <br />ask me to come. If I get along <br />so I can leave my studies <br />I will. Hoping you are in <br />the best of spirits & have <br />lots of "patients". I am your <br />loving old room mate <br />Louise <br /><br />[*I think my luck must be <br />turning. I found a silver <br />spoon in our yard a few days <br />ago dimmed with time. That is <br />nearly if not quite a hundred <br />years old. I have never prized our pearl yet.*] <br /><br />[*Mother & Mrs C. wish to be <br />remembered.*]

Frances Proctor Ames Collection
Description
An account of the resource
In the 1880s, it was difficult to find a woman who worked in any profession outside the home, much less a female physician. In 1885 Frances Proctor Ames graduated from the University of Buffalo Medical Department and began practicing as an obstetrician/gynecologist in Western New York. Dr. Ames was born in 1856 and was one of the first women to graduate from UB’s medical school. This collection features letters received by Frances Proctor Ames until her death in 1929. The majority of the correspondence is between Dr. Ames and Louise Downer, a classmate. The remaining correspondence is between Dr. Ames and a Dr. W.O.A. Langs, who also practiced in the area and graduated from UB’s medical school, as well as a mentor, Dr. John Eddy. There are several examples of letters sent from patients, asking Dr. Ames for her assistance with childbirth or a health emergency. The collection also features prescriptions written by Dr. Ames, medical notes scribbled on scraps of paper, treatment plans, and old examinations from her time at UB. Dr. Ames’ thesis can be read as a part of the collection, and is surprisingly short. From the prescriptions to the thesis, this collection reflects a time when patients sent their doctors letters asking for a house call when they were ill. With constant changes in medical research and technology today, it is important to appreciate just how far medicine has come.

No 50 Cottage St. <br />Oct 4. 1885 <br /><br />My Dear Frances:- <br />I suppose you <br />think I have not survived the <br />ordeal of Miss A. but alas I am <br />still in the flesh + subject to <br />all the ills it is heir to. <br />There are two young men <br />students boarding here. Mr <br />Meek + Mr Gray. The former <br />a second year student the <br />latter a first year. Very nice <br />both of them. Then there are <br />two young ladies. Miss Wishing <br />of the Mercantile Agency + <br />Miss Tubbs studying to be an <br />actress. both very pleasant. <br />Miss A. is not quite as soft <br />this year. I do not encourage <br /><br />her in it. I am boarding <br />with her sister Mrs Wicks <br />I like her very much, more <br />like other people <br />Now about school. the same <br />trials are mine once more or <br />I suppose I should say similar <br />ones. <br />There are many new faces <br />Of the ladies I am the only <br />veteran. Mrs Willard has not <br />returned + rumor has it that <br />she has gone to India as a <br />missionary. Miss Rhodes too <br />is lacking and instead <br />we have Miss Johnston the head <br />nurse. Miss Dickinson. Dr. Stoddard's <br />[patient] student from Rochester <br />Miss Knapp + myself. <br />Cottage St. is a continuation <br />of Virginia. <br />I went to Delaware M. E. <br />Church this A.M. Little <br /><br />George Wicks went with me <br />my sister + Earl are still <br />in the Country. I went to <br />Dr's last Sunday and old <br />397 had a sign "Rooms to let" <br />in the window. I fairly shuddered <br />looking at the old windows. <br />It made me homesick <br />for you + Oh my dear I <br />am glad you are through <br />Pray that I may have zeal <br />to study. How are you <br />doing? I do hope well. I <br />am at sea as to where I <br />shall locate my main <br />thought is to get through <br />We have jolly times here <br />after study hours are <br />over. <br />Mother + my brother are <br />coming later. <br />Do write for you are thro <br />and dont you know <br /><br />how hungry you were for <br />news? <br />I must close my dear <br />I will write as often as I <br />get time. and if I am <br />fared to get through I <br />will write whether I have <br />time or not. <br />With lots of love <br />my dear to you and your <br />family. I will say good <br />bye. <br />Yours ever in spite of <br />Miss A. <br />Louisa Downer. <br />How I wish I could add M.D. <br />O.S. Do you hear from <br />Mrs. Burchard? <br />L.D. <br /><br />[*I have made many mistakes <br />please pardon Miss R–has <br />Been talking to me–I will <br />do better next time. L.*] <br /><br />[*Miss K sends love- <br />she is no better than we are <br />You must summer + winter +c. <br />aint I mean?*]

day. with medicine I mean.
If I was through I would
do almost anything. You know
how I feel my dear dont you?

-ed you to much forgive me
my dear. I'll never do so again

My Dear Fanny
I was surprised
but pleased to receive your
letter at College. and am
delighted that you are
getting some practice.
The revolver would frighten
me. So that I should’nt know
what to prescribe. Do you
keep a blank cartridge in
it?
Well. now for school.
Dr Rochester has broken
down completely. given up
practicing and lecturing
and as soon as his health
permits will go South
We are all so sorry.
Dr Prior will examine in
his place. and he lectures now.
The examination will be
written.
I am doing very well
but am behind in Chemistry
as usual. but pray for me
that I may weather this
gale. and come out victorious
Now my dear you know
[?] proposes. but [?]
disposes. consequently it
will be impossible for me
to, see you at this time
I expect Mother tomorrow
and brother too.
but if I get through I
will try and come down
for a day or two.
I am dying to see you
Miss Knapp is dissecting
She is on a subject with
three other ladies. strangers
to you. Miss Johnston declares
she will not dissect in the
large room and is debating
about it. when she has been
as long as I have- she will
have no will of her own but
drift with the tide.
There have been real hateful
things in the paper about
Miss Johnston in the [th???tis]
The boys think her tyrannical
but she is real nice. + has
loaned me two books -+
is good to this chicken.
My [?] I have many
[jan?l?s] if I ever see you
I will tell you lots of
things about her - She was
so sanctimonious to us.
and come to find out she
has drank beer & smoked ci
gars. and so forth. I know I am
mean to write this so
burn my letter immediately
but she used to make our
lives miserable telling us to
go to prayer meeting +c.
Cooley is positively nice to
the girls- Palmer is as fat
as ever. Mr Westinhouse is
paying his distresses to Miss
Johnston. Oh by the way
Dr. Spencer called at College a
week or so ago. I shook
hands with him. + do you
believe it how Rev. Dr. Ward
actually condescended to pay
the College a visit I didnt
speak to him. It didnt come
right - + I didnt cry either
I hear Mr Sherman bought
his preceptors practice and
is doing splendidly.
With much love Louise
Excuse the messy writing please +
write when you can
L.D.

Title

Frances Proctor Ames Collection
Description
An account of the resource
In the 1880s, it was difficult to find a woman who worked in any profession outside the home, much less a female physician. In 1885 Frances Proctor Ames graduated from the University of Buffalo Medical Department and began practicing as an obstetrician/gynecologist in Western New York. Dr. Ames was born in 1856 and was one of the first women to graduate from UB’s medical school. This collection features letters received by Frances Proctor Ames until her death in 1929. The majority of the correspondence is between Dr. Ames and Louise Downer, a classmate. The remaining correspondence is between Dr. Ames and a Dr. W.O.A. Langs, who also practiced in the area and graduated from UB’s medical school, as well as a mentor, Dr. John Eddy. There are several examples of letters sent from patients, asking Dr. Ames for her assistance with childbirth or a health emergency. The collection also features prescriptions written by Dr. Ames, medical notes scribbled on scraps of paper, treatment plans, and old examinations from her time at UB. Dr. Ames’ thesis can be read as a part of the collection, and is surprisingly short. From the prescriptions to the thesis, this collection reflects a time when patients sent their doctors letters asking for a house call when they were ill. With constant changes in medical research and technology today, it is important to appreciate just how far medicine has come.

Feb 11 86 [Ex????]
Dear Frances-
I have just finished my
questions in practice; Dr. [Pr??] examines
us - he sits below now in a full
dress suit as stylish as you please
I have answered every question
I think I am fortunate. but per
haps - they are not full enough
as I am the second one through
but he told us to be brief,
I am dreading the examinations
horridly. but pray for me my
dear. + I guess I shall [?]
this. I have [had] my dress -
nearly done. I am to wear white
or rather cream colored alba
tross cloth. with my white lace
shawl - looped as an overskirt
Imagine my poor pinched face
in such a pretty dress.
I know nothing what I shall do
When I get thru. I would do
almost anything. I can only get thru
I think I passed in [Mater????]
med. I dread Chemistry beyond
anything earthly. but it will soon
all be over.
We are having lovely weather
now - too warm for you but
just right for me.
Mrs Packwood + family are well-
Mother is with me I have such
a nice place. I only wish you
+ I had had it last year-
cant you come up to commence
ment. I will send you a card
when I get them. I am [s??]
as you prob. know.
The boys are all so good to me
They say they will pull the
college down if they pluck me.
Mrs Wright from Bradford
attends college- her husband
was a physician there but is
now dead-
She has an office +c. to
go to work in. When she gets
thru. You had better come up +
make her acquaintance and
go in partnership with her-
I think you would agree
very well indeed
Miss Knapp gets angry with me
every week + gets over it;
There is one dear little girl in
school. Miss Emma Dickinson
she graduates as nurse in the
Rochester hospital + before that
in the Classical Course of Geneseo
Normal School. She is always
just the same. you would
like her I know.
It was too bad about your
mothers finger. Dr Park
lectured on felons yesterday.
he said always cut in the
[n?dr?n] line of the fingers
to avoid nerves + bloods vessels
Harry Burgtold has lost his
father. and just before he
died he failed in business-
so the poor boy has nothing
to [live] depend on.
O Dear I wish these terrible
Ex’s were over- I am sick at
my heart and I want to lie
down.
Mrs [S??????] visited the
College two weeks ago, with
her husband - said she had had
29 confinement cases since the
first of last may-
she has not dressed as well
as when she was in school.
She shook hands with Dr Carey
Dulaney rochester has returned
from Europe looking much
older - Good bye Louise

Home. Apr. 11. 1886.
My Dear Friend:-
After your great kindness to me during my Ex’s
I certainly should have an-
- wered before- and in fact
had, one nearly finished
when I left Buffalo. but was
waiting to add more- so you
did not hear at all-. I wonder
if my life will always be
made up of failures.
Well my dear do not think
for a minute that I have
forgotten you even tho I
have made other acquain
-tances.
The Ex’s were unusually
severe they all said. I [?]
of course.
Dr Stoddard had his Ex.
where he finished his lectures
in the middle of the term
We were glad as Dr. [Pi?kin]
prepared us- night + day be
fore- well- the eventful eve
came- I went to the college at
half after six. at seven Dr. S-
was to be there. We waited
until 9. then a committee. telo-
phoned to Dr. Carey. He
answered that he was probably
at Dr. [???tha??s] as he had been
invited there to dine. Well
Mr Steele and Palmer - went
there. + to their surprise
saw. Dr. Stoddard. in a
drunken condition. Well
he soon came to College
after 9. remember- + we
were all tired out. He could
not walk straight- so sat down
and managed to tell us about
what he wanted. Of course
there was lots of cribbing +
they even went down and
asked him questions + he
would tell them.
Well- I finished my paper
at 1/2 after 12. arriving home
at ten minutes to one. We all
kept quiet about his being
intoxicated. so the fresh do
not know it now. I dont think
the next day he (Dr. S-) had
to give his last lecture +
the boy thought first they
would receive him in per
-fect silence + then thinking
that he probably felt
sorry they applauded him
until the tears came
into his eyes. Then of course I
felt like hugging him. woman
fashion. Well he thanked them
for the favor shown him [?]
+ I suppose- he is wandering
among the catacombs. as
he crossed the ocean-
The rest of the Ex’s were
about as usual. Dr. Price
held a written Ex. for Dr.
Rochester. Dr. Price had on a
full dress suit at the Ex.
looked quite [s????tish].
Dr. Milhaus Ex. was very
hard- He was also hald
seas over- but Dr. Vanden
burg was there. + prevented
cheating.
I worked so hard I boarded
No. 2
the first part of the term. +
there I rented rooms and
mother came + kept house
for me. I wish you + I had
the same room- The
people were so friendly. never
asked “Vat you doin.” I dont be
lieve had I looked the city
over I could have found
better people. My brother came
the before Commencement
I attended Com. with Dr. Man
-chester (a graduate). He came
for em with a carriage + took
me to the banquet in one too.
When I went on the platform
in the last ten. the audience
applauded. so long + loud
that the tears came in my
eyes- The graduates all
joined too. wasn’t it good
of them? My dear boys.
I miss them very much.
I had a lovely basket of
flowers and a large bou
quet. but Dr. Packwood gave
me neither or none-
Wasn’t he real mean. when
he could amply afford. Well
[m?] conscience is clear certainly
I have always treated him
kindly. He was jealous to think
I got thru. I suppose.
I received the unanimous
vote. of the faculty. The boys
waited at the College for
the announcements with
old drums tin horns
+ the like.
3 were plucked. and they
would not let them go
before the curators.
I did dread the curators
Ex. but for thru nicely.
Dr. Carey asked me about
20 questions I guess
I was the only lady at the ban
quet. Did I have pluck Sister-
There was nothing objectionable
only at the table opposite me.
there sat the Dr. that was in
your class I believe. with
Ptosis. (dead drunk). So he
did not eat anything. Every
one else looked bright +
happy- + the toasts were
applauded. My Preceptor could
not be present. on account
of the illness of his little
daughter. I was so sorry.
Mip Dickinson a new student
+ one you would love
has a position at Dr. RV.
Pierces. + receives 60 dollars
a month.
Mip Knapp is at [D????]
Company.
She tried to go up on
three branches. did well on
Physiology - but failed on

Dr. Pohlman is splendid. if
he was only a christian. but

was the sign of Dr. Strasenburg. another
of my class as you prob. remember.
It is needless to say. Dr. Jones
withdrew.
My letter was interrupted here

Frances Proctor Ames Collection
Description
An account of the resource
In the 1880s, it was difficult to find a woman who worked in any profession outside the home, much less a female physician. In 1885 Frances Proctor Ames graduated from the University of Buffalo Medical Department and began practicing as an obstetrician/gynecologist in Western New York. Dr. Ames was born in 1856 and was one of the first women to graduate from UB’s medical school. This collection features letters received by Frances Proctor Ames until her death in 1929. The majority of the correspondence is between Dr. Ames and Louise Downer, a classmate. The remaining correspondence is between Dr. Ames and a Dr. W.O.A. Langs, who also practiced in the area and graduated from UB’s medical school, as well as a mentor, Dr. John Eddy. There are several examples of letters sent from patients, asking Dr. Ames for her assistance with childbirth or a health emergency. The collection also features prescriptions written by Dr. Ames, medical notes scribbled on scraps of paper, treatment plans, and old examinations from her time at UB. Dr. Ames’ thesis can be read as a part of the collection, and is surprisingly short. From the prescriptions to the thesis, this collection reflects a time when patients sent their doctors letters asking for a house call when they were ill. With constant changes in medical research and technology today, it is important to appreciate just how far medicine has come.

Jan 7 1887
My Dear Doctor:-
I was very
much surprised and pleased
to hear from you. I have
thought of you very often and
wondered if you were practicing
and how you were doing.
As soon as I got your
letter I wrote to Dr Louise sending
your address and this morning
I received the accompanying
letter to which I thought I
would add a few lines.
I have an idea that
Cleveland is a very pretty
city and I hope you may
be able to practice there.
Now to tell you something
of ourselves. we are building
a very pleasant house
on Michigan St way out;
a good distance from here.
it is about completed and
we are thinking of getting
it cleaned and moving
in. why can you not come
to commencement and make
your headquarters with us?
per haps Lou will come and
then you could have a good
visit. what say you? Earl
is quite well and attends
school. he says he sends a
kiss to you. (over)
I will make this a note if you will give
me the pleasure of another letter I will
try to do better.
Wishing you a
good practice and
every blessing best
for you to have I
am
truly your friend

My Dear Frances:-
I read my sisters
letter yesterday telling me of
your whereabouts and this
morning I deliberately went
to work and burnt your address
of. did you ever hear of any
thing so absurd? So I shall
send this to Mrs. P to direct
and be sure in your
next letter to note your
address in full - plainly
What under the sun-
moon and stars are
you doing in Cleveland
I write you a letter and
postal card at Olean and
why werent they sent to
you! Think what a waste
of ideas
I am still at home - rest
-ing- in one way but full
of social duties more than
I wish. The means I had
layed by to start with
have fraudulently been
taken from me - this of
course is between you &
me. I have a very pleasant
home and some land
but. I cant get my money
(my fraction) from them
now. So here I stand
all ragged & dirty +c.
I think I shall join
the Teachers Agency
at N.Y. and receive a posi
tion as teacher if possi
ble in Phys- + in that way
have office hours after
school and get money
enough to work
I would dearly love to get
into a Sanitarium or
the like + get a fat salary.
but those positions I
have found are to be had
only thro [Sufl??nce] I
begin to feel “wretched
man that I am who
shall deliver me from
the body of this death
This is wicked I know
I have put no sign up here
because my Preceptor has
been so kind to me “I wish”
I [?] nice rides with gentle
new friends now + then + I
must tell you there is a [w?]
about 45 with an adopted
daughter of 14 who is very kind
+ sweet to me - now you like
children + widowers I believe
if you'll come out I transfer
him to you. He is dark rich
and handsome - will you
come? I would give much to
have a visit from you here
anyone else wouldn’t our tongues
run? Will you go to Commence
ment? If mother does not take
a contemplated trip [?e??]
I shall try and go - Miss
Johnston will be the only lady
I guess. Miss K does not come
up this year. Write at once
to your old room mate
Louise
I [?] the
[?] [?]
please per
serving - I
use lime water
or turpentine

Mother sends love
Petersboro Feb. 25. 87.
My Darling Girl:
I was ever so
pleased to hear from you
once more. and should
have answered before
but. mother has been sick
and. I have been nurse
Dr. buddy, + Jack of all
trades. Mother intended
to start for the West. this
week. but she is still here
tho she may go as far as
Pa. in a day or two. I fear
to have her wait for one to
go to Commencement. as
it will make it late
for her to go. + I fear the
roads will be bad any way
& that it would hardly
pay to spend the money
to go to B. and only stay
a day. I expect to open an
office there in the Spring
if I can find a location
and money to settle in it
when found
Come + marry my
widower. he is all attention
brings me candy + fruit
He is a trifle dark for you
but he was kind to his first
wife and of course will
be better to the second
my cousin from Wis
is visiting us Walter Chaffee
He and I have just
finished playing
checkers. Out of five
games. I beat once [?]
ain’t that splendid for a
child of medicine. that shows
that my mind doesn't run
in the channel of games. but
soars!!!. Miss Johnston is
hated by the boys girl + Profs
Dr Carey gave her a scathing Ex
She asked him why and he told
her he had heard she said she
would be a star scholar. + he
thought he would give her a chance
to distinguish herself. poor girl
I pity her. She is over learning
but she has no home or mother
I am almost glad you
left the hospital because
I would not take the po
sition of nurse when you
are a Dr. Cant you borrow
the money. and then pay
interest? When I get rich
I am going to help girls.
If rich women die they al
ways leave their money
to institutions for young men
I have been interested in
a society of young people
I will send you a paper
the result. Dont view it with
a crickets eye. but pass
its imperfections by
I am rested in mind if
not in body and anxious to
go to work. My auntie in
California wants me to come
and live with her but I
cant go so far away from
my loved ones - Life would
not be worth living.
Mrs Packwood has just
moved into her new house
1280 Michigan they built
the house. Write soon
Yours with love Louise
Is your health good?
Tell me something of
Cleveland
Yours L.

My Dear Fanny Dr.
What a child
you are to be sure. Do you
suppose I would allow you
to work for me - no indeed
I am negotiating for a school
in Elmira at present doubt
tho if I take it. I rather wish
to teach now so that I can
be at home. during the
summer + then I should
practice what I could.
It is strange to me that
I do not find something
to do. I have never failed
before in any undertaking
and why now. It is not
because I am lazy is it?
Perhaps it might be as well
to tell you I am visiting my
sister at her new house. I
am delighted with it. I know
you would be.
My beloved friend “Dr Thoma”
is practicing. but strange
to say Dr. P dislikes him
now as much as before
he loved him. I rejoice
to announce this bit of news
Miss Dickinson who as you
knew was at Dr. Pierce’s is
now at the Homeopathic
Hospital on Virginia St
as Lead nurse.
Miss Knapp is at San fran
-cisco in some work. I
expect to hear from her
soon.
Dr. Manchester who grad
-uated when I did. has
married a young lady
in Royalton where
he is in practice. Peace to
his [as???]. He took me to
the banquet and marry
is the time now have
“[hofno??ed]” over chocolat
and Ice cream at Meyers
He answered all purposes
as a friend and escort
but he was flirt. + I
do not envy his wife
I am so anxious to do
something to make some
money that I really have
quite a struggle to go
out in society and be
at all agreeable.
Druggist Thompson
is very kind took me
over to Canada + to
Grand Island last
Friday + to many other
places + to tell the
truth he wants to marry
me but I am not
going to flat out and
get married before I have
earned a cent in my
new name. No I wish it
I live to be a dried up
old maid and blow away
some fine day.
We have had very warm
weather. I shall go home
within ten days and
take Earl with me.
I have had several patients
at home. tho I havent put
out my sign
I must close and
write another letter
If you write right
away address me here
you remember when
Mr Thompson came
for me to ride and
done gone home. he said
he was always sorry
that he did not ask you
to ride. You looked so lonely.
but he was afraid you would give
him the
mitten
with all
my love
God bless
you my
dear
Louise
my love to your mother + sisters
kiss the nieces for me
Im coming to see them sometime

Frances Proctor Ames Collection
Description
An account of the resource
In the 1880s, it was difficult to find a woman who worked in any profession outside the home, much less a female physician. In 1885 Frances Proctor Ames graduated from the University of Buffalo Medical Department and began practicing as an obstetrician/gynecologist in Western New York. Dr. Ames was born in 1856 and was one of the first women to graduate from UB’s medical school. This collection features letters received by Frances Proctor Ames until her death in 1929. The majority of the correspondence is between Dr. Ames and Louise Downer, a classmate. The remaining correspondence is between Dr. Ames and a Dr. W.O.A. Langs, who also practiced in the area and graduated from UB’s medical school, as well as a mentor, Dr. John Eddy. There are several examples of letters sent from patients, asking Dr. Ames for her assistance with childbirth or a health emergency. The collection also features prescriptions written by Dr. Ames, medical notes scribbled on scraps of paper, treatment plans, and old examinations from her time at UB. Dr. Ames’ thesis can be read as a part of the collection, and is surprisingly short. From the prescriptions to the thesis, this collection reflects a time when patients sent their doctors letters asking for a house call when they were ill. With constant changes in medical research and technology today, it is important to appreciate just how far medicine has come.

early 1897?
My Dear Fanny
How I wish I
could see you instead of
writing. on this glorious
Sunday. I have been to
Church and am to go to night
to a S.S. Concert. so I must
fill my time before with
letter writing.
Your occupation did shock
me but I admire you for it
It takes moral courage to
go to work at something
that we know we are above
I cant do it -yet- tho. I would
gladly if no one would
know it. but I fear public
opinion and fear too
that if I take such work I
shall never get any other
I am almost wild about
not being in business and
begin to feel about my
diploma as you did. where
you wrote me you could not
bear the sight of it. but I
would not tell this to an one
but you my dear - not even
my mother as I pretend to
be cheerful and not to care
I am [???ious] to obtain a
position to teach Physiology
I do dread to go to practicing
not knowing whether I will
earn a cent in six months
I would be willing to take
in washings almost to
earn some money
but then these times will
all be over sometime. and
we may roll in wealth. We
might make a compact that
whichever succeeds first
shall assist the other. I wish
I could help you at this moment.
We will never tell anyone
our troubles. for
“Laugh and the world laughs
with you
Weep and you weep alone
For the poor old earth may
borrow its mirth
But has trouble enough of its own”.
Mother has just returned
from Wisconsin where
she has been to bury
my dear Grandfather
I was his favorite grand-
-child. so it was doubly
sad to me-
mothers heart is not as
good a o I could wish
It troubles me such-
Mrs Packwood is in her new
home 1280 Michigan St. as
cosy as a kitten but Dr. P. does
not see fit to assist me in the
least. May he reap a rich
harvest I hear from Mr Thompson
occasionally. Miss Knapp has not
graduated yet. is working on
a paper. Dr. Johnston sailed for
India a short time ago. I suppose
there is a splendid field for us
there if we would go- But I
cannot. with my loved ones here
I wonder what ever because
of miss Carroll. She has a hard
time. I guess Dr (Morehouse) Kennedy
is still teaching in the “Central”
I havent heard a word about
Mrs Rhodes - + doubt if she ever
comes up. Miss Dickinson at Dr
Pierce’s writes me all the college
news. She is a dear good Christian
girl I wish you knew her.
I send you a little tintype
with this. which will serve
to remind you of 397. Genesee
perhaps. and how we [scr??led]
the stairs in concert to +c.
these were dear old days after
all. but how time does fly soon
will be old before we know it my
widower is still here + will prob. come
home from church with me tonight
Dr Johnston’s Thesis was mentioned
She wore black silk with long train
and low cut neck with nothing in to
fill up + cover
Even the profs disliked her they
tell me. She became so bossy
He says he will want a year for his answer. but I
hardly think I shall ever marry him so I dislike to
have him wait
in hopes all
that time
I dont know what
to do. I am so
worried about
my business
I do not know
whether I love
anyone or not.
I hear from
Dr. Manchester
at Royalton
quite often. He
was one of my
class. I must
close with
lots of love
Louise
write soon

Petersboro. Oct. 27. 87.
My Dear Doctor Fanny:
I wrote you
nearly two months ago
and wondering, why
under the sun, moon +
stars you didn’t write me.
when lo, a letter cometh
telling me- that you are
really and truly located
while poor. I am still
afloat. I have not put
out my shingle yet. for
the reason- that I meant
to leave as soon as I could
get a place- and then
people would think I
had to and at last I never
secured a position. I intend
to go to Pittsburg. Pa. the
first of Jan. to enter a
hospital there. I shall
get $25 a month with every
thing found. and then the
experience I shall get will
be worth worlds to me.
Pelvic surgery is the princi-
-pal work that is done.
I have a splendid
position offered me
at Cambridge as resident
physician of Dr. Marley’s
private hospital for
women. but I would
receive no compensation
whatever. and I could
not do it. although the
name of being there
would have been worth
a small fortune
but alas- dollars are more
to me just now than
name- and this position
has come up to help me
I am delighted of course
tho’ I dread to go among
strangers and away from
home-
Well my dear girl I am
so glad that you have
started. how did it all
happen anyway? Do your
best and keep up you
spirits.
I suppose you have heard something of met-
aphysical healing. There
has been a woman in
our place- for sometime
doctoring (?) in that way
but she has gone home
at last without having a
Dear
cured case. My Preceptor
has the luck of practice but
I have some - even without
a sign. my cases have been
mostly chronic dysphagia
goiter. hay asthma +c.
+ a few cases of wounds
one broken arm and
one of [a?men?orrhoea]
Mrs Knapp is in San Francisco
as corresponding Recy. for
the W.C.T.U.. She said she
could get into school so
easily but she found it was
harder than she supposed
I must hasten and mail
this. Do you read anything
but medicine. I am studying
German, reading medicine
with an occasional novel
by Haggard or Black as con
diments. Have you read
anything by Haggard? I wish you would. They are
the strangest stories ever written. With all
my love
yours
Louise
mother seems
quite well
tho I worry
about her
lungs a
great deal but she doesnt know it
I have prescribed ferrous hyphophosphate for Mrs Packwoods
[?] and she feels much better under its use

Allegheny Mar 14. 88.
My Dear Girl
I am dying
to hear from you - Do
write me. I have only
time for a word. have
been here since the
1st of Feb. and like it
very much.
We are having such
fine weather. no
storms at all.
I am kept very busy
giving electricity and
have learned lots.
I will tell you of the
Institution in my next.
I suppose you read of
the large class that grad
uated at the university
Miss Carroll is through
at last poor girl. I
dont know what her
address is at present.
Miss Knapp is in
San Francisco Cal.
I do trust my dear you
are doing finely. Write
me at once.
I find myself longing
for home very often
but conquer the weakness
when I know it is all for
the best.
The Country looks oddly
to me. with the mountains around the city
Allegheny + Pittsburg are
as one city a bridge
over the Allegheny river
dividing them.
I must say good bye!
and God bless you. for
the present write
me soon. How I do long
to see you. When I write
there always comes a
vision of those stairs. and
the time spent in cleaning
them! Bah! What haven’t
we been through for
our education and
“What is it all when all
is done?” but it might
be worse. so let us cheer
up my dear. and be
brave. face life as it comes
for every day you know
shortens the way
Yours ever Louise

Title
A name given to the resource
Frances Proctor Ames Collection
Description
An account of the resource
In the 1880s, it was difficult to find a woman who worked in any profession outside the home, much less a female physician. In 1885 Frances Proctor Ames graduated from the University of Buffalo Medical Department and began practicing as an obstetrician/gynecologist in Western New York. Dr. Ames was born in 1856 and was one of the first women to graduate from UB’s medical school. This collection features letters received by Frances Proctor Ames until her death in 1929. The majority of the correspondence is between Dr. Ames and Louise Downer, a classmate. The remaining correspondence is between Dr. Ames and a Dr. W.O.A. Langs, who also practiced in the area and graduated from UB’s medical school, as well as a mentor, Dr. John Eddy. There are several examples of letters sent from patients, asking Dr. Ames for her assistance with childbirth or a health emergency. The collection also features prescriptions written by Dr. Ames, medical notes scribbled on scraps of paper, treatment plans, and old examinations from her time at UB. Dr. Ames’ thesis can be read as a part of the collection, and is surprisingly short. From the prescriptions to the thesis, this collection reflects a time when patients sent their doctors letters asking for a house call when they were ill. With constant changes in medical research and technology today, it is important to appreciate just how far medicine has come.

Petersboro. Sep. 4. 89.
My Dear Girl:- I was
delighted to hear from
you to night as I had
been thinking about
you for a number
of days- + how I do
long to see you and
if we could meet
we would have a
hearty laugh over our
old Diplomas. and
we had such high
hopes- ha ha! for the future
You are the only one that
I talk plainly to outside
of my own family. now,
I will state my case.
I graduated and as my
brother had spent all
of our loose money I
had none to start with
so I had to look around
for a position. + I found
one as you know. at $25
a month. + having to
keep mother I have not
been able to lay up any
thing to begin a practice
with. and as the work
was so hard in the hos-
pital. just terrible (night
and day). I shall not
return if I never do
anything more-
So my dear at present
my future is a blank.
as to love affairs - I will
tell you frankly- all
about it. I have had a
good many chances to
marry. but never just
what I wanted. Mr
Thompson has wanted
me for years- but I do
not love him + will not
have him. a widower
here has besought me
to marry him- but
way back in his family
they say there is colored
blood. so I won't have
him although he stands
high. then there is an-
other. a farmer. rich +
a magnificent home-
but the idea of marrying a
farmer: + lastly. a gentleman
from Pittsburgh has fallen
desperately in love with me- he
is a man of 49. with 6 children
from 21 years to 10. such de-
-votion I have never met with
but how can I marry him?
such responsibility: He is
bald and looks older than
he is - but is fine looking
and if he was younger
without children I would
have him in a minute
He has just left us after a
week’s visit but what shall
I do? He has given me the
dearest little watch with
diamonds with in the case +
a diamond pin. Pray
for me that I may do
what is for the best-
I had been thinking too if
we could go into business
together.
Isnt this a terrible
mistake. pardon
it as I havnt time
to rewrite it
God bless you +
direct you foot
steps.
Love + kisses
Louise

Petersboro. Dec. 22, 89.
My Dear Fanny
I almost [?]
that this is the last time
I can address Dr. F. Proctor
and I still I am very
glad that my dear
friend is to be loved
and cared for and
God grant you may
be very happy
I have been quite
ill since I wrote you
last. had it not been
for this I should be
in Buffalo and then
I could easily drop
in on that eventful
occasion but as it is
you have my good
wishes and sincere
love for yourself +
your “worser half”
You know how I
would love to send
you an elegant present
had I the means to
do so but it shall
come as soon as I am
able - meanwhile you
must content your
self with some little
token which I will
send soon. and
please do not view
it with a “crickets
eye”
I know you will
make the best little
wife in the world.
and that you will
avoid all uncalled
for arguments as I
remember well of how
when Mr Scheferstein
called “Vat you doin?”
how you made your
escape to the bedroom
and left me to break
one of the command
ments by answering
with child like
innocence “nothing”
well those days are
far behind us and
our heavenly father
above can tell what
is in the future
I shall begin farm-
[?] in the Spring in
Buffalo I have all
I want to do here
but our winters are
too hard to remain
here indefinitely-
I hardly want to
give up my medicine
and as for marriage
I am further from
it everyday
Do write [?] how
you are quick to
tell me at least
the name you
expect to bear as
you havent told
me yet.
With much love
+ regards to the one
and your family
with a kiss for dear
Love to Laura I wish I knew her
little Kate + by the way I want
your photos
+ Katies too
God bless
you dear
+ make
you very
happy

Petersboro Mar 14 91
Dear Doctor Mamma-
I always sup-
-posed I had at least a
limited stock of sense
but my answer to your
last letter demonstrated
the monstrous fact
that I can not lay
claim to an atom of
said article.
In reading your
letter I was in a hurry
as mother was packing
to go to B. and as soon
as I read it I
packed it in mother’s [g??p]
telling her to let Mrs
Packwood read it and
to my surprise Mrs
P wrote me + sent
your letter back say-
-ing “Have you got it
through your head
that Miss Proctor had
a baby. I didn’t faint
as you know I never
do such things. but
I just felt too cheap
for anything. + what
must you have
thought of my letter
I supposed you
referred to your
neice and didn’t
notice the difference
in the name
and now may I
ask who this mar
-velous child is
named after I shall
love her for her second
name at all events
you know what talks
we used to have
about marriage you
truly believed in it
and it does not
seem feasible that
you are a mother
+ here I am the same
old maid - with the
same views on mat-
rimony although if
I find some one that
I can not live with
out I shall probably
change my position
Mr Thompson was
here a few weeks
ago - We are friends
still you see.
Now do tell me all
about my neice
I am sure she will
be an optomist
like her auntie
as she is fair you say
Were you very sick
You mean hateful
thing not to tell me
and let me take
care of you never
mind when I am
married I’ll [?]
you + [?] how you
like it. I thought
after our sojourn
at “Shefersteins” we
were sisters indeed
+ I should always
always know “what
you doing”. but I guess
it is so that after a woman
is married she cares
nothing for her friends
but as I am not in
“the soup” still count me
as your dearest friend Louise
Kiss the dear
baby for
me + little
Kate too if
she is there
God bless you all
Kind re
gards to
Eugene +
Your Mother
+
Father

Frances Proctor Ames Collection
Description
An account of the resource
In the 1880s, it was difficult to find a woman who worked in any profession outside the home, much less a female physician. In 1885 Frances Proctor Ames graduated from the University of Buffalo Medical Department and began practicing as an obstetrician/gynecologist in Western New York. Dr. Ames was born in 1856 and was one of the first women to graduate from UB’s medical school. This collection features letters received by Frances Proctor Ames until her death in 1929. The majority of the correspondence is between Dr. Ames and Louise Downer, a classmate. The remaining correspondence is between Dr. Ames and a Dr. W.O.A. Langs, who also practiced in the area and graduated from UB’s medical school, as well as a mentor, Dr. John Eddy. There are several examples of letters sent from patients, asking Dr. Ames for her assistance with childbirth or a health emergency. The collection also features prescriptions written by Dr. Ames, medical notes scribbled on scraps of paper, treatment plans, and old examinations from her time at UB. Dr. Ames’ thesis can be read as a part of the collection, and is surprisingly short. From the prescriptions to the thesis, this collection reflects a time when patients sent their doctors letters asking for a house call when they were ill. With constant changes in medical research and technology today, it is important to appreciate just how far medicine has come.

Dear Fanny.
Do I owe you
a letter? I believe not

letter with me. I
shall have to

efit of the doubt.
Mrs Hodge is dead.

a very trying case. and I fear
the patient may die- there were
so many adhesions. Dr. Eugraham
of the Niagara University performed
the operation. but Drs. Park and Mann
were called in to help diagnose the
case. All this lingo and I have
not asked how little Louise pros-
pers. Do send me a photo of
the darling. I bring her to B- for
me to pet. Just think what
an old maid I
am getting to be.
and still I am
contented.
I will send you
a “news” with some-
thing interesting
about Drs Carey
and Kentfall.
With lots of love to
your dear self +
little one- + with
kind regards to
your husband
I am always
your friend
Louise
I wish you could see the
[?] they are lovely
How old is “Louise”

My Darling Girl:
It is a perfect chance to disappoint you–at this time but I fear I shall harm to. I may go to Texas next month. have had a fine positon offered me and if not shall practice here–as I always enough to do only–I dislike country practice. I was very much in hopes to have been with you and hope now to visit you before a year goes by.
I will pray the dear Father to take you into his care + keeping and I can say to you as Cardinal Woodsey said to Dean Swift when the latter came to him for relief in trouble
“If the Lord afflicts thee there is He with thee and in His presence what am I”
Give kisses to the little one and regards to Mr Ames with much love for yourself dear [?]
Thank you dear for wanting me at this time
I was at Commencement a large class five girls
(Good bless them)
Your friend love,
Louise

Mother sends much love and says to tell you to visit us–it would do you good
Dr
Have you your anatomy still?
Peterboro June 3, 1893
My Dear Fanny:-
I was so glad to hear from you–and to learn that you cared enough to write to me even though you had not heard. I supposed I had written you and that you would me the letter but with the many cares–I may have only written many times in my mind.
My dear girl how I [?] with you in the loss of your baby–but let this comfort you the child will never have the discarregments that we have had. I will so love to see your little girl and hope to before so very long.
I am so sorry to learn that your health has been bad. Do tell me all about it. and I am quite sure I should prescribe a trip toMadison county n.y. mother and I are alone my. my brother is in business in Buffalo. my little earl is a great boy with long trousers–we expect him here soon. heis auntie’s boy still
I am hard at work most of the time. It is not just what I anticipated–that is–a country paradise but I have a pretty home and mother is alone and needs me. sometimes it may be different but if all my loved ones are [?] to me I am content.
I had a pleasant call from one of my class mates Dr. Manchester (do you remember him) a few days ago. He was so kind to me the last year of my college life–after graduation he visited me and offered me his love and life I could not accept as I could not give my hand without my heart. I am such a strange creature about marriage.
I think I shall stay a nice old maid–and I shall claim an interest in “Mary Lousie.”
I am thinking of going to B–soon–and if I go I shall make a desperate effort to see you. What is the fare from B and what road would I take. Tell me all about it and write me at once you dear girl I would just like to hug you once again and talk over old times and “vat you doin” I mean to come. I hope to go to Chicago later but cannot say positively if the pennies will go far enough. Kiss Louise for her Auntie and with lots of love
To yourself + “Eugene”
I am ever the same
Louise

Title

Frances Proctor Ames Collection
Description
An account of the resource
In the 1880s, it was difficult to find a woman who worked in any profession outside the home, much less a female physician. In 1885 Frances Proctor Ames graduated from the University of Buffalo Medical Department and began practicing as an obstetrician/gynecologist in Western New York. Dr. Ames was born in 1856 and was one of the first women to graduate from UB’s medical school. This collection features letters received by Frances Proctor Ames until her death in 1929. The majority of the correspondence is between Dr. Ames and Louise Downer, a classmate. The remaining correspondence is between Dr. Ames and a Dr. W.O.A. Langs, who also practiced in the area and graduated from UB’s medical school, as well as a mentor, Dr. John Eddy. There are several examples of letters sent from patients, asking Dr. Ames for her assistance with childbirth or a health emergency. The collection also features prescriptions written by Dr. Ames, medical notes scribbled on scraps of paper, treatment plans, and old examinations from her time at UB. Dr. Ames’ thesis can be read as a part of the collection, and is surprisingly short. From the prescriptions to the thesis, this collection reflects a time when patients sent their doctors letters asking for a house call when they were ill. With constant changes in medical research and technology today, it is important to appreciate just how far medicine has come.

My sister is not very well I worry about her. She is just the same dear little woman + she often speaks of you mother sends love–
kiss my little niece for me. How old is she now– Regards to yous husband your mother + father
Peterboro Jan 2 1984
My Dear Girl:
I think that you should have to remind me of my duty when I love you so much and think of you so often. There is no one outside of my own family who I would like to see as well.
When I wrote you last I surley expected to visit you but I went to the fair and although the trip cost me nothing as regards railway fees still there were incidentalexpenses of clothing and so forth that made me feel poor. I am delightedl that you are back in Portville. Now I surely shall see you the Lord willing. Sometimes this coming summer
I am so anxious about you–as you say you are not well Do you take any medicine? Don’t you believe it is your liver–I wish you would try “Chionia” I have had such good success with it you must be brave and have will power. You may remember the psalm which ends like this
“Why even death itself stands still, and waits an hour some times for such a will” - Brace up my dear girl. better days will come. I wish I could tell you all I know of the fair. I will sometime. I was there only a week but I saw enough for 3 month it seems to me. I spent much time in the women’s building and was proud of my sex. was much interested in the fine display of drugs and in the transportation building saw the first train of cars ever used in N.Y. state the English coaches were curiosities to me.
After I came from the fair I overworked + was sick for two weeks then Mother was taken with Grippe and does not feel just herself yet. My brother is still in Buffalo [?] slowly improving and a letter last night tells me that Earl has been sick for a week–with bronchitis–so you see I have had my share of worry–.

THE WARSAW
SALT BATHS
WARSAW, N. Y.
Warsaw, N.Y., Jan 7- 1895
My Dear Fanny:-.
Here I am at the Baths in the capacity of house physician
I like the position very much indeed. Mother is in Buffalo with my sister for the winter
I hope you are very much better than when you wrote me–if not you had better come up here for two weeks. There are special rates for physicians so that it would not cost you very much and I am sure that the salt baths electricity Russian baths [?] to say working of my skill would bring you up to you own dear self.
I have just finished breakfast and am in the reading room waiting for prayers–Do write me at once and I will answer promptly.
With much love to your dear little one and to yourself–
Regards to your husband - I am yours-
Louise

My Dear Fanny:-
I was so glad to hear from you again. Am sorry you are not well but am glad to hear of your joy in store. I hope you will get along nicely. After it is over. I think I must come and see the youngster. I love babies especially yours I must find out how to reach you–the Erie road and Buffalo–Rochester and Pittsburgh run through this place–
I surely will come for a day or two. I am so anxious to see Louise. We are quite free here now. I am sitting in my office on the fourth floor. Hasve just beengiving electricity–I like the position–for many reasons I do not have the great responsibility that I had in private practice–but is cripples one to a certain extent–it summed to be the open door where I came and I do not regret it
“For all is right that seems most wrong–
If is be his sweet will”
We have chapel exercises every morning at nine

And in many ways it is an ideal Christan home.
My salary is not as large as I could wish–when I think how long it is since I graduated I ought to be rich–or at least comfortable–but living in a village was a detriment to begin with. I had Earl with me for four days the first of the month. He is a lovely boy. Tall and strong he played two evening on his violin–I was so glad to have him with me.
I do not that Dr. Wilson and I will make a match. I do not wish a physician + perhaps he is of the same mind–but he is nice
I regret I didn’t meet the merchant in Oswego Is it too late do you think now?--I am I think a confirmed spinster but one cannot be too sure–as the saying is. there is nofool like an old one.
I know had so many love affairs that I begin to think I am love proof now. Mrs. Packwood would like so much to see you + so would her sister.

Dr. Dickinson practices in Dansville Sanitorium. She took a course in New York on the throat + she does that work in Dansville
You might perhaps get a position through Dr. Park and I tell you that Mrs. Park was here with her son She is very lovely good enough for Dr. Park + that is the greatest compliment I could give her
I had a present yesterday from my two bath girls and nurse a nightingale robe. It is just what I wanted and so pretty.
Was nt it sweet of them? It touched my heart I can tell you.
I wish I could see you my dear girl. I am troubled about you having such a time with your stomach. Do you try Listerine or soda mints? Be careful of what you eat
Love to your mother + little Lousise–
Regards to your Husband + father
Yours ever
Louise

Frances Proctor Ames Collection
Description
An account of the resource
In the 1880s, it was difficult to find a woman who worked in any profession outside the home, much less a female physician. In 1885 Frances Proctor Ames graduated from the University of Buffalo Medical Department and began practicing as an obstetrician/gynecologist in Western New York. Dr. Ames was born in 1856 and was one of the first women to graduate from UB’s medical school. This collection features letters received by Frances Proctor Ames until her death in 1929. The majority of the correspondence is between Dr. Ames and Louise Downer, a classmate. The remaining correspondence is between Dr. Ames and a Dr. W.O.A. Langs, who also practiced in the area and graduated from UB’s medical school, as well as a mentor, Dr. John Eddy. There are several examples of letters sent from patients, asking Dr. Ames for her assistance with childbirth or a health emergency. The collection also features prescriptions written by Dr. Ames, medical notes scribbled on scraps of paper, treatment plans, and old examinations from her time at UB. Dr. Ames’ thesis can be read as a part of the collection, and is surprisingly short. From the prescriptions to the thesis, this collection reflects a time when patients sent their doctors letters asking for a house call when they were ill. With constant changes in medical research and technology today, it is important to appreciate just how far medicine has come.

Warsaw, N.Y., Sep. 18. 1896
My Dear Fanny:-
The idea that you have a dear little Proctor and this I didn’t know is I was very glad to hear from you–and to know that your health was better. I have wanted] to visit you so long but I haven’t had a vacation in a year. I am very tired indeed– We have had a full house–all Summer–and now the main building is free although we have closed the cottage I expect to go home in Oct. I may go to Boston for a week. I expect a girl friend from Boston tomorrow. She expects to come on apass and she says it may read for two on the return pass–if is des. I will go back with her–I hope I can go–for I have always wanted to go there
Earl spent last Sunday with me–he is [?] in his stockings–broad shouldered–and a darling. Every one falls in love with him. He is so good to his mother.
Sister is feeling quite well also mother + my brother

My Dear Friend:-
Your good letter should have been answered long ago. But I have been so busy. I have regarded many of the pleasure for the work at hand. We are having charming weather. [?] fine days with the perfume of the flowers and grass about us. The poppy garden flaunts itself as I look from my office window What are you reading in the lull of the business Have you added “Red Pollage” or “When Knight hood was in flower” to you list? Both are good. I hear pleasant news from mother she is very happy in her home in Peterboro and it is her birthday today. I hope your mother is much improved in health. Have I told you of Dr. Robins death at Hamburg? I think you knew him,. I was sorry I never met him after coming to Orchard Park.
Earl is taking heis examinations] and hopes to enter Dental College in the Fall. He still keeps up his music and has an orchestra of his own which meets every Saturday night at 1280.
Do you hear very much word of the Pan American? I fancy it will boom Buffalo though some people think differently with the trolley passing the house we shall be able to have many people with us–I endorse a [?]please put it when it will do the most good. With much love,
Jan 19. 1900 Sincerely Louise Downer

My Dear Fanny:- I was very much pleased to hear from you-Can’t you get away for a day at least during ?ed home werl and come and see me?
Contrary to my expectations I am living in Buffalo and have given my practice only charity cases for the present. My husband was opposed to my office work mainly I think because he feared people would think that he desired it
I miss my work and my dear friend Miss Bassett at the San. I was write her seven years and we are like sisters–but here I am in my pleasant home We have a horse and I go to drive every day. Sometimes I pass our house on Genesee st and memories come fast. [Did you know that Dr. Packard died last September–dropped in the st–near his house–from heart failure. Dr. Earl was with him + while I was a terrible shock to him we were so glad that he was there with his father. Dr had charged much in his feeling in the last years. I enjoyed long visits with him. My sister keeps her home that they built + Dr. Earl and his wife live with her. Sister is now with mother in Peterboro. Mother spends her winters with me and [?] a month with her in P. This Spring brother is married and has a darling wife and son named George Emmon Downer after his two grandfathers
He is a perfect beauty + darling 2 years old–
How do you enjoy this family history?
I went to Lake George + Lake Champlain on my wedding tour then home for a month then at the Sanitorium for 6 weeks. [?] [?] Benzing [?] this please–and here we are–I am quite a housewife–but oh- oh- oh- the help questions. I have just let a girl go- she could not e??h at all and I felt that I had a guest so I did most of the work
Do you know of any girl you could get for me. A middle aged woman in need of a home. I will pay four dollars a week for a general housework girl–we are easy to take care of the house is easily kept clean because I will not have trash about should you know of any such [?]gety [?] for me dear and I will [?] you for [?].

Title

Frances Proctor Ames Collection
Description
An account of the resource
In the 1880s, it was difficult to find a woman who worked in any profession outside the home, much less a female physician. In 1885 Frances Proctor Ames graduated from the University of Buffalo Medical Department and began practicing as an obstetrician/gynecologist in Western New York. Dr. Ames was born in 1856 and was one of the first women to graduate from UB’s medical school. This collection features letters received by Frances Proctor Ames until her death in 1929. The majority of the correspondence is between Dr. Ames and Louise Downer, a classmate. The remaining correspondence is between Dr. Ames and a Dr. W.O.A. Langs, who also practiced in the area and graduated from UB’s medical school, as well as a mentor, Dr. John Eddy. There are several examples of letters sent from patients, asking Dr. Ames for her assistance with childbirth or a health emergency. The collection also features prescriptions written by Dr. Ames, medical notes scribbled on scraps of paper, treatment plans, and old examinations from her time at UB. Dr. Ames’ thesis can be read as a part of the collection, and is surprisingly short. From the prescriptions to the thesis, this collection reflects a time when patients sent their doctors letters asking for a house call when they were ill. With constant changes in medical research and technology today, it is important to appreciate just how far medicine has come.

Dear Fanny:-
“Backward turn backward Oh time in your flight.” II have been reading over some of dear mother’s letters, and I long to be a little girl in her arms again
Your dear father left you last summer let us be thankful we were able to care for them. Mother sat up until two oclock the day. She left us-at ten pm.-Oh I loved her so-and I need her-at every turn you know all about it. It is late. I should be sleeping but some times I feel so lonely that sleep flies
Dr. Earl's baby six months old cheers us and my brothers little boy. Downer George Emmon Downer now three years and a half old is a perfect dear. Big dark eyes with long lashes–and he thinks “Aunt Dede” is just right Earls baby is named Downer B. Packwood–Mother named him Mother was not well for two years and I passed both summers in Peterboro. Ms. B came down often. I have a basket of mail that accumulated that I have not finished yet I found your daughters pretty cards long after she was graduated as I should have written her at least. Sometime she must come with you and visit me–I would like to meet her–tell me the ages of your children. Have you read Delle Knapp’s books? She died last year after and operation for some liver trouble] she wrote a school history of the Philippine Islands that brought her 3000 a year-
1910 Dr. Delaney Rorhester has had a shock of Paral-but is recovering slowly. Dr. Bingham is one of our councilmen Does’nt practice Dr Emma Dickinson is doing well in Rochester
Take time and write me about yourself and let’s get acquainted over again. I keep busy do not practice only on my relatives and friends + charity. I miss it too + have kept my chair + tools but might as well let them go–kept at it for twenty years that is not so bad after all–and now I am a grandmother. I should rest
Did I tell you that miss [Knapp visited me in Orchard Park once? My beloved husband is sleeping–I should be too so good night
Regards to Mr Ames–
Yours, Louise

My Dear Fanny:-
I was so pleased to have the card–and to find you had not forgotten. I am sort of a “shut in” so I appreciate hearing from friends. My left knee has been troubling me for a month caused by a fall–so I did not get out to do any shopping. Mrs. Packwood helped me out and she and Dr. Earl were here for dinner as his wife and baby were in Canada. As his worker mula? was very ill. Earl is such a fine man–and his baby is so smart and how we all love him I hope to see your children sometime. I know they are nice. And Delia told me that Mr. Ames was too good to you all - so I know he is all right. My family [?] ready [?] but I am very fond of my two sons and their wives and my four grandchildren to say nothing of my brothers son George Emmon Downer–how is a handsome boy of four
I saw Dr. Meedenbauer a few days ago. He is stout and looks happy. Dr. Pohloman died a few days ago. quite suddenly Dr. Delaney Rochester too has gone to pass]--forth physically + financially. How has had two shocks of paralysis and his oldest son 16 yrs has Epilepsy. I have heard that very bad blood was on the Delaney side. I am so sorry for them He was not like his father–not as suar–write whenever you can and come and see me–
Much love-Louise

1911?
Monday 10th
My Dear Fanny; I suppose when you see my writing you will say–”I suppose she wants a girl.” but this time I want even more. My husband wishes me to ask you–if you know of any married men who would like a position of overseer on a two hundred acre farm. One who would be able to take charge of keep–so Mr Benzing could be relieved of the care. If he could get a man with one or two sons--he would have them too. His farm is situated a short distance from the city on a trolley line. I used to be a dairy farm but owing to poor leep] it is a now a grain farm but he may go into the dairy business again with a suitable man. He has two fairly good men now but the third one is not competent There are three houses in the place. I hope you are well] as also your family, what is your daughter doing? My sister and Iwere at Peterboro most of the Summer. I went into Canada and my husband on a fishing trip and he was with us in Peterboro for a time, but the farm kept him here in B. Should you know] of any one tell them to write to
Mr. A. J. Benzing
27 Cleveland Ave
B. for terms or I Thought Mr Ames might know of some good farmer. The holidays are nearly upon us can’t you come + do your Xmas Shopping with me? -Lovingly-
Lousie D. Benzing

Title
A name given to the resource
Frances Proctor Ames Collection
Description
An account of the resource
In the 1880s, it was difficult to find a woman who worked in any profession outside the home, much less a female physician. In 1885 Frances Proctor Ames graduated from the University of Buffalo Medical Department and began practicing as an obstetrician/gynecologist in Western New York. Dr. Ames was born in 1856 and was one of the first women to graduate from UB’s medical school. This collection features letters received by Frances Proctor Ames until her death in 1929. The majority of the correspondence is between Dr. Ames and Louise Downer, a classmate. The remaining correspondence is between Dr. Ames and a Dr. W.O.A. Langs, who also practiced in the area and graduated from UB’s medical school, as well as a mentor, Dr. John Eddy. There are several examples of letters sent from patients, asking Dr. Ames for her assistance with childbirth or a health emergency. The collection also features prescriptions written by Dr. Ames, medical notes scribbled on scraps of paper, treatment plans, and old examinations from her time at UB. Dr. Ames’ thesis can be read as a part of the collection, and is surprisingly short. From the prescriptions to the thesis, this collection reflects a time when patients sent their doctors letters asking for a house call when they were ill. With constant changes in medical research and technology today, it is important to appreciate just how far medicine has come.

My Dear,
I was certainly surprised to receive a letter from my old friend’s daughter, but pleased also. And if you prove to be a better corre--spondent than your mother. I think I shall drop her How pleasant for you to teach near your home. I am sure your mother appreciates it.
I hope that she is well and that your father is better than when you wrote. Tell me your brothers more the one who rooms at Prospect Avenue–I rather think it is Proctor. I will try and see him + write him to come see me.
I suppose you are busy with Christmas work. I always planto do all of my fancy work during [?] time but when that time comes the lure of the out of doors and good books makes Christmas seems so far away and now here I am with nothing done but I plan to hang up, my largest stocking just the same.
I wonder how you came to direct my letter Mrs George Benize. My husband’s name is Adam J. B. but I use my own name Dr. Louise D. Benzing on account of my degree + too because do not see why I should lose my identity entirely.
On the old tombstones one reads–often this Jane–[?] of John Jones-- so no one knows who Jane was she was only a [?].
Give much love to momma–+ tell her when she wishes to see her try to come and visit me–she may bring you too
Much love,

My Dear Girl.
The little “Breeze” flew in with the tidings of a wedding anniversary. How I wish that I might have been there. I surely shall try and visit you this Summer. It is a shame that we never see one another. Perhaps I can persuade Dr. Earl to take me there some day with his car. I would be afraid to drive our Electric so far–fearing the electricity might not reach–but if you will come and visit me next summer I will take you around the Parks.
I had a merry Christmas but have been so busy answering greetings that I have neglected any sewing and other duties. I gave a little party a week ago Saturday night. Everything passed off–pleasantly. I am associate mentor of the Physician's League Composed of all the women doctors. I am also a member off the Women’s Political Equality Club I am a housekeeper too. I love it.
Do you have the magazine “Goodhousekeeping” I have taken it for a number of years and it is a treasure. I also have the [?] I [?] and the American and the Womens Home Companion. Isnt the war something terrible? Thank God our Country is at peace even if war prices are being asked for our staples. Do you have egg + butter of your own? Much love.
Remember me to many. Louise

My Dear Fanny,
You and reached me in November as with other mail it was not forwarded–and sister and I did not return until nov 8th my husband was with us most of the time. I saw by the paper that the Aldrich meetings were canceled without giving any reason. I am sorry I did not hear him–I attend the Delaware Bap!
Church very often as it is near my home. It does not make any difference. What Church dear does it? You remember Ella Wheeler Wilcox’s poem “So many Gods–
So many creeds: So many paths That wind and wind
When first the art of being kind.
Is all this old world needs–”
We all miss Dr Park.
His death was a great loss to the City. Isnt this great war depressing? When we felt that civilization had really reached a higher plain and what is it all for? With so much sorrow and suffering. It seems [?] to think of a merry Christmas but for the children of the nation we should keep our hearts cheerful. Are you contented in your new home? And how is your son’s health? And tell me of your daughter.
Dr. Earl’s babies are sweet. One firm and the other two Downer and Esther.
My brothers son is nine years. Geroge Emmon Downer–a handful black eyed boy I have four grandchildren twin boys 9 yrs and a baby girl 5 an older boy 16. All beautiful children and the twins no one can tell them apart. Write again soon and [?] me ever the same.
Regards to the family
Louise D. Benzing

My Dear Fanny– ? Dec 23 1917
I do not know whether I am for a letter. But I am sure I should like to hear from you. And I trust that you and your family will have a Merry Chrtistmas and a Happy New Year. Our Christmas is saddened by the loss of my only brother. He died the fifth of July ill only three days with Pneumonia. He left a widow and a little son ten years old. I wish I might have him but of course that cannot be– My sister will spend Christmas with me as Earll and his family (wife and two children Downer + Esther) go to Canada to Mrs. P’s home–for two days. Dr. Earl is as good as he promised to be. I wish you could] come and see me sometime. Much love to you and to your family.
Louse D. Benzing

Frances Proctor Ames Collection
Description
An account of the resource
In the 1880s, it was difficult to find a woman who worked in any profession outside the home, much less a female physician. In 1885 Frances Proctor Ames graduated from the University of Buffalo Medical Department and began practicing as an obstetrician/gynecologist in Western New York. Dr. Ames was born in 1856 and was one of the first women to graduate from UB’s medical school. This collection features letters received by Frances Proctor Ames until her death in 1929. The majority of the correspondence is between Dr. Ames and Louise Downer, a classmate. The remaining correspondence is between Dr. Ames and a Dr. W.O.A. Langs, who also practiced in the area and graduated from UB’s medical school, as well as a mentor, Dr. John Eddy. There are several examples of letters sent from patients, asking Dr. Ames for her assistance with childbirth or a health emergency. The collection also features prescriptions written by Dr. Ames, medical notes scribbled on scraps of paper, treatment plans, and old examinations from her time at UB. Dr. Ames’ thesis can be read as a part of the collection, and is surprisingly short. From the prescriptions to the thesis, this collection reflects a time when patients sent their doctors letters asking for a house call when they were ill. With constant changes in medical research and technology today, it is important to appreciate just how far medicine has come.

Buffalo, N.Y.
My Dear Fanny:--
I was so glad
to hear from you. but sorry to
hear of your daughters illness
but out of the stress + strain
Low lovely to have.--
Frances Harriett to show for it
now you are Grandmother
and I envy you. I have
four beautiful grand children
but I cannot look at
them + find traits of my
family. I miss that.
I sent you a card dear as
always. Wonder where it
went. Lost in the rush per
haps. I am glad that your
grandaughter is an Anguish
baby- my mother had
three daughters all born
in anguish. + just four days
between them. 10-14-+18.
Mine is the 10th my sister
Amy who died as 12 was
the 14th + Mrs. Packwood
the 18th. So am welcome
Frances into our "Sign" of
"Leo"
Write when ever you can, and
I do hope we shall meet
before the year is out.
Aren't we having a wonderful
winter. I dread the zero [w??th]
as always. So this winter I
have enjoyed to the full
my [and miss] affairs are get
ting straightened around
a little better. I really
ought to sell my home
It is too large for us-
and have been thinking
of a bungalow. but I began
housekeeping here + just
cannot endure to leave it
And so many of the later
built houses during the
war were so poorly built
I wish Peterboro were a
Buffalo Suburb. that would
solve the problem but to
live there the whole year
would take us away
from Earls family + my
brothers son too.
I must get dinner. so
will say good bye–
Remember me to Grandpa
Ames + never [?] that I
will forget you–
Yours–
Louise
