Cashel Nov. 24th 1915 Dear Sir I would be greatly obliged to
you if you would let me
have a loan for a few
days of Hutchinson's work
on Food and Dietetics
and Plimmer's
Biochemistry. I take it that
a member would be entitled
to this privilege but if not
I doubt much that anyone
would object. I of course
would pay post both
ways. Yours truly Thomas Laffan
Letter from Thomas Laffan (1842-1918) to the librarian at the Royal College of Physicians
of Ireland (RCSI) requesting to borrow a copy of Hutchinson's work on food and dietetics
and Plimmer's biochemistry.Aside from his work within the medical profession, Dr Thomas
Laffan also had a strong interest in politics. Throughout his life he was a frequent
contributor to the Irish Press.
