A stampless letter to surgeon/dentist N.C. Keep, M.D. asking for a piece of "sea-horse tooth, of the smallest curve you have" presumably for a patient. Seahorse teeth was another name for walrus ivory, used in dentures for centuries in dentistry. The top portion of the letter is missing, the remainder is roughly 6 x 6 inches. The text on recto in full: "Dr. Sir, I wish you would be good enough to send me a piece of Sea - horse tooth, of the smallest curve you have - I don't care that there should be enamel on it - should rather there would not be . Also, I should like to have you send me some about the ordinary curve. Let me know the price by the bearer. Yours Respfly, O H Blood" The verso notes the address: "N.C. Keep M. D. Surgeon - Dentist (?unreadable) 24 School St. Boston" "Harvard School of Dental Medicine (HSDM) was founded in 1867, and was the first dental school in the United States to be affiliated with a university and its medical school. The first class admitted five students under the leadership of Dr. Nathan Cooley Keep, a prominent Boston physician and strong advocate for dental education. The tower, or castle "keep," that appears in the School's shield honors Dr. Keep." (hsdm harvard history) Dr. Nathan Cooley Keep was a contemporary of Horace Wells and others well known for important early experimentation (including anaesthesia) in dentistry. O.H. Blood is probably "Oliver H. Blood", a dentist active in Worcester MA as noted in the 1850 census. Originally a physician, he became a dentist in 1831 and died in Worcester in 1858.
