MFP/7 | An Irish country doctor looks back | Typescript autobiographical account by an unnamed Irish doctor practicing in Tipperary. The account covers the writers early life, medical education in Cork and Dublin and experiences during nearly 'half a century' of general practice in Tipperary. Although no name if given on the manuscript the biographical information contained suggests it may have been written by Dr Jeremiah Dowling.
It is not clear how the document came into the possession of the Macnamara family, but it seems most likely it belonged to Donough Wheeler Macnamara. | [1950s] |
