Description:‘Dear James,
We have now heard from Claybury and Cane Hill. Only one patient at the latter hospital has been inoculated and apparently it did not take. They will let us know should they proceed with other cases. The Superintendent is Dr. S. Elgee; you and he, I believe, know each other and he will be delighted to see you at any time, though I should say that at the moment there is no call for a visit.
At Claybury, 12 patients have been inoculated and the treatment is in progress. The first cases were inoculated in cold weather in the absence of mosquitoes. During August some measures were taken to protect the rooms used by inoculated patients, but since the advent of cold weather these precautions have not been maintained and it is said that, though known to exist in Essex, anopheles have not been seen at Claybury. Except for the statement that malaria spreads rapidly in Russia in conditions of great cold, they feel at Claybury that there is at present no danger in their position. Dr. Barham, the Medical Superintendent, will be very pleased to see you at any time and give you all information at his disposal.
A copy of your letter of the 14th instant has been sent to Dr. Steen (Dartford).
Sincerely yours,
C. Hubert Bond.’
