Downing Street, 26th February, 1915. SIR,
I AM directed by Mr. Secretary Harcourt to inform you that in a letter to this Office the Assistant Director-General of the International Health Commission has stated that Dr. Howard, Director for the West Indies, visited Antigua, and studied closely the investigations you have made in ankylostomiasis. He is of opinion that your work was exceedingly thorough, was scientific in character, and represented one of the most valuable investigations that has been made in this field; and he commends your work generally in the highest terms.
Mr. Harcourt has noted with pleasure the high opinion that Dr. Howard has formed of your work in Antigua.
I am, &c.,

SIR,
Downing Street, 5th March, 1915.
I AM directed by Mr. Secretary Harcourt to inform you that he has received from the Governor of the Windward Islands the revised estimates of expenditure for the current year in connexion with the ankylostomiasis campaign in St. Lucia, which formed the enclosure to Dr. Howard's letter of the 30th November‡ to the Administrator of the Colony.
2. Mr. Harcourt fully approves the revised budget, and is confident that the recent visit of Dr. Howard will ensure that the campaign in the Cul-de-Sac Valley is started on the lines which experience in British Guiana and elsewhere has shown to be so successful.
