 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.
