Letter from [Diarmid] Noel Paton, Physiological Institute, University of Glasgow, to [Francis Alexander] Towle, Assistant Secretary of the Royal Society, Burlington House 'Dear Mr Towle, Many thanks for your letter of the 12th inst. I regret that I am unable to attend the Council Meeting on Thursday the 15th inst. Will you let the Council know that I agree with the recommendation of the Physiological Committee that the bequest should be used for the study of Kala Azar, but that I think that the Council should delay the final decision upon the recommendation that the capital may be encroached upon. Yours very truly, D Noel Paton'. 13 May 1924
