Scope and ContentDraft and copy telegrams urgently requesting insulin from Santa Barbara, California, USA, and Brussels, Belgium, and replies or receipts for telegrams to Santa Barbara, Brussels, and Toronto, Canada. Some, if not all, of the telegrams were sent by David Nunes Nabarro, Alan's uncle who was also a physician. The doctor contacted in Brussels was Dr Devos. Insulin was requested jointly for Alan and for Neville Janion, a boy of a similar age, and the file also includes a list of notes made by Rosetta, Alan's mother, for a meeting with Neville's mother when they discussed their sons' conditions.
