Copy letter from Robert William Frederick Harrison to The Under Secretary of State for the Colonies, Colonial Office, Downing Street, SW 'Sleeping Sickness Comission. With reference to your letter of December 15, enclosing a copy of a letter from Mr A Doudney relating to a bill for animal cages supplied to the Bysaland Sleeping Sickness Commission, on the order of Sir David Bruce, for which a receipt had been obtained in advance of payment, enquiry has been made of Sir W B Leishman and I am now able to enclose (together with bill in question) a certificate from him that the Account is one that remains to be paid. A similar case is that of Mr F G Parsons (bill enclosed herewith). Sir W B Leishman certifies this also as ripe for payment, the receipt having been obtained by Sir D Bruce in advance.' 4 January 1912
