Copy letter from Francis Alexander Towle, Assistant Secretary of the Royal Society; to A. Edgcumbe Esq.; Colonial Office, Downing Street, S.W.1. In reply to A. Edgcumbe's enquiry, sends a copy of the Royal Society's 'Record', and thinks it might interest Mr Amery to know that the Royal Society has undertaken many investigations for the Colonial Office in the past regarding tropical diseases (lists a few examples) and was largely responsible for the formation of the 'Tropica Diseases Bureau'. 24 November 1924
