TitleCopy letter from Robert William Frederick Harrison to H J Read CMG
Date21 November 1912
Description'A letter is going out to Miss Robertson informing her of the Committee's decision with regard to her future work, namely that she is to stay in Uganda and carry out the investigation she herself suggested in relation to an infection know to be borne by a hemipterous insect common in the Protectorate. The locality and conditions of her work are to be settled in consultation with the Governor.
My recollection is that you kindly undertook at the Committee meeting to cable out this decision to Miss Robertson; but, in case I should have misapprehended this, I send this line to ask if you can render that assistance in the matter, because she is by this time probably at a loose end.'
