Recipient of S.P. James to A.W. Daniel, 19th Dec. 1923.

Description:

‘Dear Dr. Daniel,

Since I visited your hospital in connection with the treatment of cases of G.P.I. with malaria, we have prepared some mosquitoes for the purpose of giving the patients malaria by “nature’s method” instead of by direct inoculation of infected blood. That method has the advantage of eliminating some undesirable possibilities inherent in the direct inoculation plan and it is possible that the clinical results may be better. I now write to ask you if you would be prepared to select one or more G.P.I. patients for trial of this method of malaria treatment? If so, I should propose to visit your hospital in order to feed our infected mosquitoes upon the selected patients as early as possible next week.

With kind regards

Yours sincerely,

S.P.J.’
