COPY LETTER

[Dr.] Henry Thomas, 10 Whiye Friars, Chester to [Mr. J. A. Lush] in reply to letter received from Mr. Lush dated 2 [May] [18]71. In this letter of reply [Dr.] Thomas states that the question raised by his request to be registered under the Act of 1858 did not depend on the fitness of the body from which he obtained his degree, but as to whether he had obtained his degree by regular examination. He explains that the document evidence he has supplied should be enough to prove his eligibility for registration. But as they had not he would have to consider other ways to achieve his aim before the Bill or one similar might become law, and concludes with a request for a personal interview with [Mr. J. A. Lush].
