© Trustees of the National Library of Scotland Letters to Joseph Macleod („Adam Drinan‟), circa 1933-1955.

This collection of letters was found by his family long after the National Library of Scotland had acquired the bulk of Joseph Macleod‟s archive in 1992. It is not quite clear why this correspondence was filed separately by Joseph Macleod, but much of it is personal, from family and friends. The letters have been left as arranged in the accordion file in which they were found. Correspondents are generally filed by surname, though some are filed under the name of the organisation they represent, and in some cases there is no obvious explanation as to why they were filed as they are. Some correspondents have proved unidentifiable during the somewhat hasty compilation of this inventory; any further information or corrections will be gratefully received by the Manuscripts Division, NLS.

W A Timperley There are a number of letters and papers from Dr W A Timperley relating to his research into anticoagulants. Joseph Macleod seems to have championed Timperley‟s campaign that his discoveries would be of great use in the battlefield in preventing massive blood loss from war wounds, and in haemophiliacs. The file includes papers relating to the British Union for the Abolition of Vivisection and The International Haemoplilia Society.
