Description:‘Colonel James.
We spoke to-day about the position of the malaria laboratory work, in which we are not only helping the Board of Control in the trial of induced malaria but also, through you, have obtained incidentally important results regarding the action of quinine on the malaria organism – work which I notice is specially referred to by the League of Nations Malaria Commission and which it seems particularly necessary to continue.
My point was that the work depends on observations which cannot be hustled and must make very considerable demands on your time. It seemed to me that a portion of it at least might be done under your direction by a competent man, if one could be found, who possessed the necessary personality and technique, and that this work would be appropriate to recommend for an allotment our of the Special Inquiries Fund.
Would you let me know what you suggest. It would be important to get any arrangements of this kind settled during the present month, during which you would be available to plan out what was to be done.
G. Buchanan,
1st September, 1927.
