Description:
‘Dear Mr Nettleship,
Albinism. I examined today a new member of the pedigree from which the hair plate in the memoir was made.
A male, born 13th Aug. 1912, seen 15th Aug. 1912. Hair silvery white lashes brows white; skin fair; eyes wide open no nystagmus (doctor saw them open yesterday) fundus very pale, O.W.[?] darker than rest of fundus... Ps red; iris grey & transluscent. Retinoscopy with Ps dilated after [illeg.] once:
R + (+6) (+12) L + (+8) (+12) This result with lenses held in left hand, arm stretched to its fullest, child suckling its mother all the time, she kept a lid depressed when necessary. The doctor held the lamp & I think the results quite reliable in so far as it can be in an infant which does not fix or only fixes occasionally. There is obviously a marked degree of astigm.
There was wonderfully little difficulty in getting the result; I was quite prepared to get nothing in this 2 days old infant.
Milne (Longside[?]) diabetes ped. card from Dr Wood to-night “forging ahead.” [?]
Yours sincerely,
C.H. Usher.’
