Recipient ofS.P. James to Col. Lord [Horton], 16th March 1923.
16 Mar 1923
Description:‘Dear Colonel Lord,
I have instructed Messrs. Baird and Tatlock to send the incubator and the other laboratory articles necessary for the mosquito G.P.I. work direct to your hospital and I hope they will arrive in 3 or 4 days. Unfortunately I have to go to Hamburg tomorrow on duty and thence to Geneva so I shall not be able to superintend the beginning of the work personally. My laboratory assistant (P.G. Shute) is, however, thoroughly trained and practiced in the work and in order that no time may be lost I hope you will see no objection his beginning it in my absence. The two patients whom I saw with Dr. Nicolle [sic] on Thurday last appeared to me to be quite suitable for the treatment. If a telephone message could kindly be sent here (Victoria 9800, Extension 243) when the articles arrive from Baird and Tatlock, Shute will go down and get the incubator working and proceed with the mosquito feeding etc. as may be necessary. I will come as soon as I return from Geneva.
With kind regards,
Yours sincerely,
S.P.James.’
