Description
Manson sympathises over Ross' lack of malaria cases and suggests that he is writing to J Cleghorn and JTW Leslie on Ross' behalf. He suggests that drinking water might not be the only way in which man is infected by the malaria parasite from the mosquito and that it might happen through inhaling dust from dead mosquitoes as well. He asks for specimens, discusses Ross' microscopic work and encourages him to press on before the French and Italians succeed in their researches.
