Date22 September 1913
DescriptionHas worked south of the Masindi belt through the Buruli district -- found it all to be 'morsitans' [tsetse fly] country -- notes that the cattle 'have now been killed off literally in the hundreds' -- has written a report for the PMO and Governor, who are about to start a scheme of medical prevention. Having found evidence of T rhodesiense [sleeping sickness], has arranged to stay and see the tests through.
