Scope and content

SZ mentions having written to the Dean of the Medical School of Trinity College. After histological material has been worked through, SZ would discuss the findings with McSwiney. Observations of bleeding in the alimentary tract after blast show that the areas affected vary. An investigation is necessary to establish why at one part of the gut is affected, and at another time another part.
