TitleLetter from Howard Walter Florey to Viscount Tenby, Fleming Memorial Fund for Medical Research, London
Date5 February 1960
DescriptionAgrees to amendments of Fund booklet wanted by Lady Fleming - does not look on this as a document of great historical importance - has doubts about proposed new paragraph - no real evidence at present to support Fleming's musings - suggestion that "more powerful" penicillins will be produced and "diseases now untouched will be conquered" seems to be offering public a bait for which there is no scientific foundation - Abraham agrees with him.
