Some omissions if someone knows how to include them
Waterhouse was actaully a bit of a rascally figure at Harvard, and this article does nothing to convey his colorful (somestimes curmudgeonly) character. Materials at the Cambridge Historical Society (notably, articles in their "Proceedings" journal) list his arguments with the school over not just the foundation of the medical school (which Warren went on to head) but squabbles over the keys to and contents of the glass display cases, which he may have donated, but the school claimed, and other issues.

Also, it might be noted that his house was for some time used as the American Red Cross office in the area, and a tie to the earlier activities in Boston related to smallpox inoculation could be useful since it is sometimes made to sound as if vaccination appeared out of whole cloth when it didn't.

Also, the Countaway medical library at HU has a silver watch inscribed to Waterhouse by Jenner. A picture of that or a link to their site might be of interest, both as proof of their correspondence and the way collegial regard was shown by one professional to another in that time. His ties to Europe and the UK overall seem to have been stronger than those to the US, in fact.
