Letter addressed to Clarkson Thomas Collins (1821-1881), physician. He was at 215 E. Broadway in 1846 (Doggett’s). He moved to Great Barrington, Mass in 1850. He was one of the first gynecologists in the country.
In 1845, he established the N.Y. Medical and Surgical Reporter, but it only survived the publication of 2 volumes. He was an early advocate of the American Medical Association and the NY Academy of Medicine, becoming one of its earliest members in 1847.
173 East Broadway was the location of an apothecary in 1846. Perhaps Dr. Collins had some business there, as he was involved with dispensing medications to a nearly asylum.
