    It has become one of the felicities of your day to have associated with you as coadjutor a son, Avhose talents and intelligence have already attracted public attention, and whose prosperity is peculiarly interesting to yourself.* May this important union, so auspicious to the medical character of our country, with your excellent example and influence, excite emulation in the field of science, and prove a shield to the community against the baneful effects of medical demerit and empiricism. I am, sir, with sentiments of profound consideration, Your most obedient servant, JAMES THACHER. Plymouth, January 1, 1810. * John C. Warren, M. D. recently elected adjunct Pro. fessor of Anatomy and Surgery.
