Letter from Dr Joseph Ormerod to Dr Thomas Kirkpatrick, 10 December 1918

1 Royal College of Physicians
London S.W. December 10 1918 Dear Sir I beg to acknowledge and to thank you for the ad-
-mirable and beautiful Address from the P resident and
Fellows of your College on the occasion of the Quater-
-centenary of this College. It shall be brought before
the Quarterly Meeting of the College in January next,
when the thanks of the College will be duly rendered. I remain, dear Sir,
Yours faithfully J.A. Ormerod,
Registrar. The Registrar
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. Dr Joseph Arderne Ormerod (1848-1925) served as the registrar for the Royal College of Physicians of London since 1909. Specialising in nerve disorders, Ormerod was a physician, lecturer and president of the Neurological section of the Royal College of Medicine.
