Date25 January 1960
DescriptionHad thought Brotzu was dead, as did not receive reply to letter - says Cephalosporin C has been exaggerated by Press - material is promising medically and is chemically of great interest - comments on this - has tried to make it clear that Brotzu supplied fungus and that they were able to confirm Brotzu's bacteriological findings - gives draft of letter which Brooke could send to the Italian Press - long time before Cephalosporin C is tried clinically - is suprised that a bacteriologist should be President of the Government of Sardinia - would like some more information about Brotzu.
