SIR,
Administrator's Office, North-Eastern Rhodesia,
Fort Jameson, February 2, 1907.
In reply to your letter of 22nd December relating to the possible introduction of sleeping sickness into Rhodesia, and directing me to forward my recommendations
as to preventive measures and the estimated cost of them, I have to inform you that I have considered the matter, in consultation with the Principal Medical Officer, and now recommend the appointment of an expert medical officer to direct and con- trol the existing preventive measures in the Luapula and Mweru regions, and that, in addition to the special medical post at Madona on the Luapula, another should be established at Kalungwisi on Lake Mweru.
I suggest that a man should be obtained from one of the Tropical Schools of Medicine, if possible one who has been on a previous expedition to Africa, and that he should be offered a two years' engagement at from £400 to £500 per annum.
I do not recommend the establishment, for the present, of any other inspection posts or constabulary patrols.
I estimate the cost of establishing and maintaining preventive measures against sleeping sickness during the coming year as follows:-
