Description:‘Dear Dr. Bond,
For several months past I have been trying to get hold of a case of Malaria. I wrote to the different Hospitals for Tropical Diseases without success. Dr. Templeton 2nd A.M.O. here wrote a short paper upon the matter in the B.M.J. of May 26th. 1923. The Editor kindly inserted an annotation stating that we were looking out for cases. This brought to light two cases and two of our patients have been inoculated, and one a case of Tabes has apparently “taken” though before coming to a definite decision we are having his blood examined. Unfortunately at the present time our cases of G.P.I. are of a very poor type, but I expect a recent case to-morrow. I can say nothing at all about results as we are only just starting.
During my absence from home the cases were inoculated without communicating with the friends but I have given directions that in all cases in future, the consent of the friends must be obtained first and one consent arrived this morning.
With kind regards,
Yours sincerely,
R.H. Keen, Medical Superintendent.
P.S. It has occurred to me that it might be worth trying in other cases of other diseases [missing from photograph].’
