Description: Dr Patrick H Gillies was the Medical Officer for the Easadale Slate Quarrying Company. As a GP he served the area for over forty years, like his father before him. This however is a letter sent after information had been provided to him to assist in an application for an unknown post. If I'm reading it correctly, he makes reference to a man by the name of Rowat, possibly another applicant, and I think calling into question his qualifications ("a title not now recognised I think. You remember the way in which the diploma was conferred in Glasgow that year").I suspect he is referring to John Rowatt M.B. C.M. D.P.H. Faculty Glasgow. There is also a footnote informing the receipient of his being well known to many prominent Sutherland people. Donald George Sutherland BA MA was educated at Watson's College and the University of Edinburgh, graduating in 1886 with the university medal in medical jurisprudence and public health, and taking the BSc in public health three years later. In 1890 Dr Sutherland became Medical Officer of Health for the county of Sutherland and Burgh of Dornoch. He was later called to the Bar by the Middle Temple and, in 1899, entered as an advanced research student at St John's College, Cambridge. He was a well known Bacterioligist. At the time of the letter, he would have been at St John's College, so I wonder if the application was in fact for Cambridge?
