Description
Typescript letter sent from Berkeley G.A. Moynihan (1865-1936), to Professor [Matthew] Stewart, then chair of pathology at the Medical School, University of Leeds.
The letter, dated 13 February 1929, relates to a gastrectomy Moynihan performed for a patient in August 1928; and contains annotations, possibly by Stewart.
The letter is accompanied by 10 additional pages of notes relating to this operation, and other patient cases, including for an operation on a cancerous ulcer and a chronic gastric ulcer. The cases are dated 1923-1924, and there are diagrams illustrating the notes. Some of the notes are on Leeds General Infirmary-headed paper. It is unclear whether these notes were written by Moynihan or Stewart.
