Letter from Thomas Kirkpatrick to the Secretaries, Irish Medical Committee, 4 March 1918

1 4th MARCH, 1918. The Secretaries,
Irish Medical Committee,
Dublin. Gentlemen, In reply to your letter of the 28th February, ult., I
beg to inform you that I have been nominated by the President and
Fellows of the Royal College of Physicians of Ireland to
represent their College at the meeting of Delegates. I remain, Gentlemen,
Yours faithfully,
Fellow & Registrar. Name & Address of Delegate
T. Percy C. Kirkpatrick,
11 Fitzwilliam place.

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.
