DescriptionNoting that the International Conference on Malaria and Tropical Medicine is to be held in Washington in May 1948. He then discusses the question of appointing representatives to this Jubilee Conference, a topic highlighted at the last meeting of his Board of Management. The Ross Institute has already appointed Professor G Macdonald and Sir Malcolm Watson to represent them, but the Board of Management would like to send either Professor Buxton or Professor Hamilton Fairley in addition. A sum of £200 has been set aside as a contribution to the expenses of the third representative. Mackintosh asks if Egerton would like to join them in the appointment of a third representative. It is estimated that the total cost of each representative will be between £350 and £400.
