Scope and content

Refers to McSwiney's interpretations of Carmichael's and Greenfield's findings on lung lesions in goats during experiments at Shoeburyness. McSwiney is eager to assist SZ in a study on the shock effects of blast.

Carmichael's incorrect interpretation of SZ's study on splinter wounds is explained.

Dr Peter L. Krohn is mentioned as having joined SZ in his research.

A letter is requested from Carmichael to the British Medical Association informing them of Krohn's work and asking them for his reservation.

SZ asks if a copy of his full report could be sent to W.E.M. Mitchell at Cambridge Hospital.

Draft letter appears on verso.
