Copy letter from Sir Archibald Geikie, Secretary of the Royal Society, to Sir Michael Foster Informs Sir Michael Foster that his suggestion has been reported to the Chairman of the Indian Advisory Committee. Considers the question of whether the Royal Society could give £1000 a year to research tropical diseases, and the arguments and nuances for and against this. Informs Foster that he can reliably count on the Royal Society giving £250 a year for a Professor of Protozoology at the London Tropical School (University of London), but that the bigger sum must be more carefully considered. 19 November 1904
