William Halsted and Anton von Eiselsberg enjoyed an extended friendship. It was marked by a fairly continuous correspondence during a period of 18 years. Their letters were recently found in the Halsted Papers in the archives collection of the Johns Hopkins Medical Institutions, Baltimore, where they had remained undisturbed for over 60 years. Written in English, this is the first time they have ever been published. They are of historical interest in that they represent the only known correspondence between Halsted and a major figure of the Billroth school of surgery. Their content provides a vivid insight into a close personal relationship that endured the tragedies and hardships of World War I.
威廉·霍尔斯特德（William Halsted）和安东·冯·艾塞尔伯格（Anton von Eiselsberg）有着长久的友谊。其特点是在18年的时间里保持着相当频繁的通信。他们的信件最近在巴尔的摩约翰·霍普金斯医疗机构档案收藏中的霍尔斯特德文件中被发现，在那里它们已尘封60多年未被打扰。这些信件是用英文写的，首次出版。它们具有历史价值，因为它们是霍尔斯特德与比尔罗特外科流派一位重要人物之间已知的唯一通信。其内容生动地展现了一段历经第一次世界大战的悲剧与艰辛仍存续的亲密私人关系。
