Scope and Contents:
In correspondence to Jenner in London, Waterhouse describes the difficulties he has encountered with opponents of vaccination and asks for some additional matter, specifying that it be sent on soaked threads pressed between glass and sealed with wax. In a postscript, he writes he has found that the vaccine matter will be destroyed at temperatures of 98 degrees, and asks if Jenner thinks it might similarly be affected by extreme cold.
