Scope and content

Records a visit made by JH to India in the company of Alistair Anderson in the Spring of 1937. Alastair Anderson was the son of Sir John Anderson (later Viscount Waverley) who was at that time Governor of Bengal. Alistair Anderson, a doctor, was his father's official guest - taking a particular interest in medical services - and throughout the visit he and JH travelled in the Governor's entourage during tours of the Presidency and elsewhere. The file includes an MS journal, itineraries, correspondence, and press cuttings.

A photographic record of the visit is to be found in files JH/PHO/2/2 and JH/PHO/2/3.
