Admiralty, June 17, 1904. I AM commanded by my Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty to acquaint you, with reference to your letter of the 13th June, 1904,† No. 19824, on the subject of the financial arrangements in connection with the proposed enquiry into Mediter- ranean fever, that they concur in the proposals as set forth in that letter, including the employment of the epidemiologist.

My Lords understand that Mr. Lyttelton will make the necessary arrangements with the Royal Society and will obtain the sanction of the Lords Commissioners of His Majesty's Treasury to the financial arrangements connected with the investigation. In communicating with the Treasury it is requested that it may be stated that, so far as Naval Votes are concerned, the expenditure connected with the enquiry can be met out of the aggregate of Vote 3.

My Lords note that their concurrence will be sought before any expenditure of

an extraordinary or unusual nature is incurred.

I am to add that they would be glad at an early date to learn the number of in- vestigators and, if possible, to be furnished with an approximate estimate of the cost of the investigation as requested in their letter of the 5th April.
