@kristinwh0 @PlantHistorian @fmaltaromeiras @geoffbil Many thanks. Awfully nice of you to say and much gratitude to everyone.

@SirJosephBanks @BSHSNews @royalsociety That’s wonderful to hear, @SirJosephBanks - thank you. You’re all doing a magnificent job.

[John Mathew @thoughtheybered]

@MBarany @BSHSNews @TIFRScience Brilliant! So glad to hear. I am closer to Madras/Chennai so if you are wending your way southwards, please sound me out.

[John Mathew @thoughtheybered]

@MBarany @BSHSNews @TIFRScience Grand! Much appreciated and thanks a lot. If you do make it Indiawards, we must arrange to meet.

[John Mathew @thoughtheybered]

@MBarany @BSHSNews @TIFRScience Wow! What a story! Much obliged!

[John Mathew @thoughtheybered]

@MBarany @BSHSNews @TIFRScience Oh, riveting! I knew of some of this but am grateful for the augmentation of information. Thanks so much!

[John Mathew @thoughtheybered]

@BSHSNews @MBarany Gripping. I would love to know more about the Indian side to the story.

@ModelHistorian @BSHSNews @ManMetUni @PHMMcr @ahrcpress @CDPConnect @sim_manchester Oh, that is so interesting, Francesca. I was basing my question on what I have read of tensions in the United States in comparative situations, wondering whether such might obtain in Great Britain. Many thanks for your detailed response!

[John Mathew @thoughtheybered]

@LouBell @BSHSNews Dear Louise, That’s fair! Thanks so much for letting me know. The U. S. Civil War is fascinating for medicine and I daresay you’ll find lots of interesting comparisons to make.

[John Mathew @thoughtheybered]

@SirJosephBanks @BSHSNews Thanks so much @SirJosephBanks - that is useful!

[John Mathew @thoughtheybered]

@BSHSNews @SirJosephBanks @royalsociety Thank you @SirJosephBanks. Might you be able to tell us more about Banks’s association with naturalists from competing empires. The French governor of Yanam (Yanaon) in India comes to mind but others of note? Thank you.

[John Mathew @thoughtheybered]

@BSHSNews @ModelHistorian @ManMetUni @PHMMcr @ahrcpress @CDPConnect @sim_manchester Thoughtful and important paper. In terms of racism, were there also tensions between people of colour born in the United States and those like Tommy, that weren’t, and even in the latter category, those from Africa versus Afro-Caribbean, for instance?

[John Mathew @thoughtheybered]

@ctimmermann @Michaelaclarkba @BSHSNews Very kind of you! Thank you @ctimmermann

[John Mathew @thoughtheybered]

@BSHSNews @SirJosephBanks @royalsociety Also, how is your paper responding to and extending the work of Banks’ scholars such as John Gascogne?

[John Mathew @thoughtheybered]

@BSHSNews @SirJosephBanks @royalsociety Thank you, @SirJosephBanks. I am curious about Banks’s relationship with naturalists from competing empires. The French governor of Yanam, Pierre Sonnerat comes to mind during his long, fashionable incarceration in India, but what of others?

[John Mathew @thoughtheybered]

@BSHSNews @LouBell Fascinating @loubell. How much was prosthetic treatment in the First World War influenced by previous engagements like those in the US Civil War, and were there interventions that were strikingly novel in comparison?

[John Mathew @thoughtheybered]

@Michaelaclarkba @BSHSNews That is wonderful! Many thanks - this should be good to read! Very promising approach to the archives.

[John Mathew @thoughtheybered]

@BSHSNews @Michaelaclarkba Thank you @Michaelaclarkba. Have you or other workers been able to respond to elements of the holdings into a meaningful project yet along lines that you were hoping for the history of medicine? If so, might you be able to share this, please?
