| Description | Encloses a copy of a letter from the Lister Institute, regarding the urgent need to investigate certain problems connected with plague. Explains that Mr Brodrick has received communication from the Government of India, asking him to send two or three medical men to the Punjab, to investigate the causes, spread and prevention of plague. Discusses whether the inquiry should be directed by a representative Committee in England, which would administer an annual grant of money from Indian revenues. Asks if the Royal Society would cooperate with the Lister Institute to suggest names for the Advisory Committee, and to give any criticisms or suggestions on the scheme. |
