| Title | Copy, letter from Arthur G Bagshawe, Tropical Diseases Bureau, Imperial Institute, to Sir David Bruce |
| Date | 11 February 1919 |
| Description | Reviews the current state of research into some of the main diseases. Thinks that attempts to discover the transmission of Leishmania have not been well-organised -- that Blackwater is a sporadic disease not consistent enough to warrant a Commission of its own -- 'leprosy is a hard nut, but it will have to be cracked some day' -- notes that Noguchi at Guayaquil claims to have discovered the Yellow Fever organism. Suggests that 'the most important work to be done is that on quinine'. p104. |
