What should you say, please? Obviously good surgeons are very desirable, but I don't remember that special surgical degrees have often, if ever, been asked for. T.C.H. 30/3.
Mr. Menghten says Dr. Cockin was a good surgeon, a Cyfus has asked for special skill in surgery (though not appointed, at any rate), but nothing was said as to a special qualification in surgery. Obviously, if you asked for special skill in surgery, you would take the possession of a special surgical degree or diploma as evidence of such skill. But I argue that the request is unusual; & I could not say that the possession of the F.R.C.S. by T. Cobbe would enable him to get a letter ahead of that of an ordinary M.O.

As I say here, Harcourt notes his reasons for refusing the offer of the appointment of M.O. in Hongkong; and with regard to the latter part of his letter, I may say that while the medical and surgical degrees of every officer are taken into consideration in connection with vacancies in the Colonial Service, vacancies for which exceptional qualifications in surgery are specially asked for are so rare that it is impossible to give any assurance that the possession of the F.R.C.S. by T. Cobbe would accelerate his promotion.
Let her Fiddian see it and try to improve the draft. I am in some doubt how to put it.
