| Description | Thanks for offer of help with manufacture of penicillin - commercial production is now being undertaken on large scale - not possible to produce significant amounts in laboratories - grateful for offer of help from Argentine scientists - not practicable for them to make large quantities - would take 6-12 months to assemble apparatus.
Reply written on verso of letter from A Flores Piran, Embajada de la Republica Argentina, Wilton Crescent, London to Florey 28 September 1943 - Understands it is difficult to produce penicillin in sufficient quantities - Argentine scientists would like to collaborate in helping wounded soldiers - asks if Florey considers it is possible to produce penicillin in Argentina for use in Britain.. |
