Sta,—The letter and statement purporting to be from a "Medical Student" in Boston, Massachusetts, in reference to Dr. Mary E. 1Valker's proceedings in London being calculated to injure that lady in the opinion of the British public, will you allow me to say that Dr. Mary has taken the beat means of making the public of Great Britain acquainted with her life and abilities, and it would be fortunate for many a "Medical Student" if he could exhibit equal talent, courage, and nerve. There are many persons better qualified to judge than a "Medical Student" can possibly be of the means proper for vindicating the propriety and the right of women to educate themselves for the Medical profession ; and who are better entitled to write in the name of thew who most earnestly desire to "see Medicine recognized as a profession for women" than your Boston correspondent, and who thoroughly approve of Dr. Mary Walker's "proceedings in London."—I am, &c.,
