Letter from R. H. Crooke, Ministry of Health, Whitehall, to F. Cyril Broxholm, Evelyn House, 62 Oxford Street The Minister of Health has no knowledge of his clients' b-Eucaine process. Crooke summarises the arrangements made during the War to meet the shortfall in drugs formerly obtained from Germany. Under wartime arrangements, a process for making b-Eucaine was worked out by a Committee of the Royal Society and the process communicated to firms applying for the information. The Minister cannot supply the names of the firms or whether this had any relationship to his clients' process. 8 December 1922
