DescriptionCorrespondence between Dominic Corrigan and Sir Philip Crampton about the possibility of Corrigan's accepting the position as Medical Commissioner in Ireland. Draft letter from Corrigan, 10 April 1850, gives Crampton details of his income from his private practice which he would have to give up to become commissioner.
