Description:‘Dr. Carnwath,
As we must not lose the opportunity of utilising the infected mosqiutoes now available I have provisionally arranged to undertake the proposed enquiry at Horton instead of at Exminster. It will be necessary, however, for me to live at Epsom during the week or ten days of the enquiry because the cases must be studied by night as well as by day. I have therefore provisionally arranged to stay at [the?] Woodcote Hotel, Epsom, from Wednesday the 13th but it has just occurred to me that perhaps A.G.D.[?] may object to the grant of subsistence allowance for a place so near to London as Epsom.
But it would be quite impossible for me to do the enquiry unless I can be on the spot night & day. May I ask, therefore, that you will be good enough to arrange that the usual substce [sic] allowance will be allowed me?
S.P. James.’
[Separate hand:
‘Establishment (Mr Poyser).
Here is what appears to be a most important development of this malaria therapy work - the discovery of a Plasmodium which causes only a mild attack in man and is easily controlled by Atebrin. The study proposed by Col. James will involve close observation of the cases day & night for at least a week or ten days, and will necessitate his staying in Epsom. I should be glad to have your approval to enable him to draw the usual subsistence allowance during this period.’
T.C[arnwath]. 11/6/34’
Separate hand again:
‘Dr. Carnwath,
The grant of subsistence allowance during Col. James stay at Woodcote for the purpose of this enquiry is approved.
In view however of the correspondence with the Treasury as to the continuance of this laboratory & in particular to the last para of the letter of the 12 May 1933 the Treasury shd. [illeg.] be told of any new development such as now seems to be proposed before it becomes part of the normal work of the laboratory.
We could hardly embark on a new line of research without the knowledge of the Treasury & it might therefore be desirable to consider this matter now rather than leave it till next year when the whole situation is due to be reviewed by the Treasury.
