Letter from Fitzgerald to Thomas Percy Kirkpatrick, 17 July 1918

1 VICE REGAL LODGE
DUBLIN 17th July 1918. Dear Sir, In continuation of my letter of the 15th June with
reference to the Address to be presented to Viscount French
on behalf of the Royal College of Physicians of Ireland on
the occasion of His Excellency's assumption of Office, I am
now directed to inform you that it is proposed that the
Presentation of the Address should take place in the Privy
Council Chamber, Dublin Castle, at 11.30 on Tuesday, the
30th instant. His Excellency trusts that this hour and date will be
covenient to the Deputation, the number of which, in view
of certain limitations of space, should be restricted to
not more than eight members. I am to request you to be good enough to furnish a
list of the members of the proposed Deputation. Yours faithfully.
First Name Fitzgerald
Private Secretary.
T.P. Kirkpatrick Esq., F.R.C.P.I.,
Royal College of Physicians of Ireland,

From 1910 until 1954 Thomas Percy 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.
