Scope and content
Letter to Harvey Cushing from Thomas McCrae, 1627, Spruce Street, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA. McCrae remarks that Osler often used the title M.R.C.P. (Member of the Royal College of Physicians), as he did on a paper entitled, "Notes of Intestinal Diverticula," in the Annals of Anatomy and Surgery, 1881, IV, #5, November. Osler and Allbutt were elected Fellows to the College in 1883. Allbutt delivered the Gulstonian [sic] Lecture in 1884. McCrae will send an account of a dinner for MacAlister in which much is said of the formation of the Royal Society.
