| Title | Letter from [Silas] Weir Mitchell, Bar Harbor, Maine, to the Secretary of the Royal Society, London, England |
| Creator | Mitchell; Silas Weir (1829 - 1914) |
| Date | 21 July 1908 |
| Description | Acknowledges the receipt of the Royal Society diploma but points out an error in his name, which is listed as Samuel Weir Mitchell instead of the correct Silas Weir Mitchell. Seeks guidance on whether to return or destroy the incorrect document and suggests that the error might have originated from the Medical Chirurgical Society of London's repeated misspelling of the name, despite previous correction requests. Mentions William Osler and Sir [Thomas] Lauder Brunton as individuals who should be aware of the correct name.
Includes an internal Royal Society memorandum dated 3 July 1908. |
