Autograph Letter Signed from William MacCormac in London to an Unnamed Man Praising the Effect of Golf on Physical and Mental Well-being
London surgeon William MacCormac (1836-1901) writes, in a bold, fast hand, a response to an inquiry he received: "I scarcely know what you desire me to say in reply to your letter. The best way to secure physical well being is to employ to advantage not only your body but your mind. The work for these two must be co-ordinated for they react on one another for good & for mill. In the hurry of life & the quest after success one or both of these desiderata may be neglected, & sooner or later ill consequence will follow. Health both of mind & body is promoted by an adequate amount of outdoor exercise, & moderation in all else. The particular form which this may take is a matter of inclination. I personally like a game of golf because it gives sufficient & agreeable exercise & is a complete mental distraction."
