GB 0809 Ross - Ross, Col Sir Ronald (1857-1932)
- 147 - Material relating to the Advisory Committee of the Tropical Diseases Research Fund, the Colonial Office, malaria returns and correspondence

Ref No	GB 0809 Ross/147/47
Level	Item
Title	Letter from Alexander Henry Barclay to H Hearsey, Principal Medical Officer, Nyasaland (now Malawi)
Date	21/1/1912
Description	When the returns of mosquito-borne diseases were filled in there were only four senior government officers in the territory, he himself was Acting Principal Medical Officer and the others were new men so therefore he sent the returns to all the medical men but some did not reply and one was compiled by two nursing sisters as they were without a medical officer. He wrote to Ross and explained this saying that he sent the original returns as he was dubious about their accuracy but Ross has apparently not understood this. He also considers the mosquito-borne disease return form inappropriate for Nyasaland (now Malawi).
