| Description | Has meet with General Sice, whom he says 'is in despair about Algiers' where there is no organisation to tackle scientific problems - that the country has been cut off 'since the fall of France' - names problems such as farming and nutrition, drying of serum and medical advances, and lack of access to scientific publications. Thinks it best for Cordier to go over and make a survey. Asks if the Royal Society could appoint an emergency committee. |
