Description:‘Dear Brock,
You will remember that in May, 1928 we had some conversation and correspondence on the question of the laboratory at Horton and the arrangements for the treatment of General Paralysis of the Insane by induced malaria.
The conclusion we then reached was that while the experimental and research stage was not then over, the process had reached the stage of recognised treatment and justified the consideration of the future arrangements and that these should in some way or another aim at placing full financial and other responsibility for the operation of the system on to local authorities, subject to such medical supervision as you might think necessary. We had it in mind that possibly within two or three years from that date you would be in a position to make to make some definite suggestions to this end.
We have now to go to the Treasury again for a continuance of their approval to the employment of two temporary laboratory assistants and in so doing we must give them some indication of the progress we have made towards the end we have in view.
Before, therefore, I approach the Treasury on the relatively minor matter of laboratory assistants it is therefore necessary that we should get the position of the major problem somewhat clear. Perhaps you could let me know your views on the matter as it stands: I can then talk to the medical people here.
Yours sincerely,
H.A. Leggett, 20th Nov. 1930.’
