Title
Letter
Date
12/4/1898
Description
He is having difficulty in getting mosquitoes to bite his birds and in staining and preserving his specimens. Lists and discusses the specimens which he is sending to Manson and says that they are leaving him in perfect condition. He has discovered that if mosquitoes are fed on recently infected birds they will not develop the coccidia whereas they always develop in an older infection. Everybody thinks that L Rogers theories on subsoil water infection are rubbish.
