letter dated the 19th instant. I will gladly avail myself of the opportunity of
seeing Sir John Moore and Sir Arthur Chance while they

Letter from Sir Arthur Stanley to Thomas Percy Kirkpatrick informing Kirkpatrick that he would gladly meet with Sir John Moore and Sir Arthur Chance while they are in London. Sir Arthur Stanley (1869-1947) was a philanthropist. In 1916 Stanley founded the College of Nursing with Dame Sarah Swift and became the first chairman of the college council. Additionally, Stanley served as chairman of the British Red Cross Society's committee from 1915 and was actively involved with the Star and Garter Home for Disabled Sailors and Soldiers.From 1910 until 1954 Thomas Kirkpatrick (1869-1954) served as the registrar for the Royal College of Physicians of Ireland. He also served as the general secretary of the Royal Academy of Medicine in Ireland. He took a particular interest in what were then termed venereal diseases; to encourage his patients (many of whom were prostitutes) to attend, he held a clinic for women at a discreet early morning hour to facilitate anonymity.
