TitleCopy letter from Robert William Frederick Harrison, to W H Eggett, Colonial Office
Date6 August 1908
DescriptionHarrison has Eggett's letter with the accounts of the expenditure incurred on behalf of the Sleeping Sickness Bureau. Shall be obliged by his acquainting the Office of Works that the writing table purchased for the Sleeping Sickness Bureau was bought second hand, it is contrary to all custom for cash discounts to be allowed on second hand prices.

With regards to Partridge and Cooper's account, Harrison has consulted the Director who carried out the transaction, and am informed that he corresponded with that firm with a view to obtaining discount and succeeded in obtaining a small credit note.
