We are very ready tosupport you in your writing a book about Billroth. I think, how-ever, that this cannot be done without spending several monthsin Vienna.In our Institute there are various Billroth-letters andof course all his printed works, but we have nothing as to hisgenealogy and the history of his family. As to that I would ad-vise you to contactDr.med.Michael CONRAD-BILLROTHFacharzt fur OrthopadieNuBwaldgasse 7A-1190 WienAustria.Literature about Billroth you will find in my book aboutthe Viennese Medical School which illustrates the medical back-ground (I enclose a prospectus).Yours very sincerelyProfessor Erna LnekyVorstand d.Instituts
