| Description | Lists those present, and committee business -- 1. Signing of the previous meeting's minutes. 2. Consideration of letters from the Foreign Office, and two resolutions: to inform the Foreign Office that no conclusions could be drawn from Dr Wiggins' experiments at Nairobi, and inform them that even though the evidence that trypanosome causes sleeping sickness does not amount to 'absolute proof', it is still strong enough to warrant preventive measures, such as restricting the flow of people between infected and non-infected areas. 3. Col Bruce's report that Lieut Warwick Smith would not be able to go to Uganda due to ill health, but that Lieut Gray would take his place. 4. Reading of Dr Nabarro's letter reporting on the Commission's work to date, and a resolution to print and circulate this. 5. Return of Dr Nabarro from Uganda. 6. Consideration of Dr Nabarro's application for a grant for sleeping sickness experiments to be carried out in London. 7. Reading of a letter from the Foreign Office on the proposal to bring sleeping sickness patients from Portugal to England, and a resolution that the Royal Society would bear the cost of this transport 'provided that cost would not exceed a few pounds'. 8. Reading of other letters from the Colonial Office and the India Office. pp1-4. Signed by Ray Lankester. |
