TitleLetter from Robert Henry Aders Plimmer, Savile Club, 107 Piccadilly, to Dr Henry Fraser, Royal Societies Club
Date18 January 1922
DescriptionBelieves that an earlier letter has failed to reach Fraser and thinks that this address is correct. Plimmer is also writing to A T Stanton to get permission to use four illustrations for a book on vitamins now in press. Full recognition is given for Fraser's work [with Stanton] in first proving the existence of an unknown food factor [as a cause in beriberi]. The book is for the general public and makes the case that foods should not be tampered with. Notes that he has recently left Aberdeen for St Thomas's Hospital Medical School.
