Scope and content
Thanks him for honour of being made a corresponding member of the Society: described his exploration of the lower parts of River Zambesi: describes crops grown by tribes living on the Shire and tribal dress: region is unhealthy "we have tried quinine as a preventative but I question if it is so - the only good to see in taking it regularly is when a person does take fever" but says Europeans can live in tropical regions if they take ordinary care.
