| Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} X 261 S/W To Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} from Sg.{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} re Professor Dodds. Sg{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD}12/E14.9.36 B-34-GA. I wrote and asked him whether his trouble of 'missing' had been cured. He tells me that he has had it a little but nothing serious and will tell me about it when I meet him, but, as he could be very useful to us as a tester in a matter of this description, I should like you to send him direct one set of A.C.plugs and one set of Champion. Please see that the points are correctly set before despatch. They should be addressed to him: Professor E.C.Dodds, M.V.O., at The Courtauld Institute of Biochemistry, The Middlesex Hospital, London, W.1. Sg.{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} | ||
