Letter from Henry Smith to Richard Butcher Manuscript letter from Henry Smith to Richard Butcher enclosing a note from Mr [Frederick] Skey (RBC/26) who has been 'converted' by Butcher's paper on excision of the knee joint. Smith talks about potential reviews of the work and refers to a piece published in last week's Lancet. He concluded by discussing [James] Syme, who 'makes such a fool of himself that we hardly think it worth while to notice what he says'. 15 May 1855
