| Description | Warns Ross that forumlin may have altered the pigmented cells in the specimens he has sent and says that there is no fever at Kherwana so his research has stopped but as the man he has come to relieve has recovered he expects to leave soon. He has written to D Robertson, encloses JP Hewett's reply to his letter which he describes a 'pure bunkum' and says that if nothing turns up he will apply for leave from the 1 January 1898, although there is 'a gleam of hope' that CW Owen at Patiala might persuade the Indian princes to apply for his services |
