TitleLetter from Howard Walter Florey to A Neuberger, St Mary's Hospital, London
Date8 October 1958
DescriptionThanks for letter - has made arrangements to stay in London on night of 20 October - comments on this - is in complete sympathy with Neuberger's desire to raise fund in order to run laboratory as he wishes - difficulties have arisen because of propaganda emanating from St Mary's - comments on Oxford work on penicillin - he and his colleagues are reluctant to see financial benefit from St Mary's appeal, which is largely made possibly by Oxford work, placed entirely at disposal of St Mary's - suggests joint appeal be made for Neuberger's department and for Dunn School of Pathology, Oxford - comments on this - is enclosing copies of lecture, Penicillin in Perspective, which lay members of Neuberger's Committee might read - suggests they might also read Colebrook's account of Fleming in Royal Society's Biographical Memoirs and chapters one and fifteen of Anitbiotics (ed Florey) - feels many difficulties might be removed if lay members of the Board were to read some of the relevant literature - hopes satisfactory arrangement can be reached.
