PASTEUR Louis (1822-1895)
L.A.S. "L. Pasteur," May 12, 1881, to Eugène TISSERAND| half page before a copy of a letter, in all 1 1/2 pages in8 (ink faded).
On his experiments with the anthrax vaccine.
He sends Tisserand a copy of his letter to the Minister, insisting that he "be put in possession of the 20 sheep I am asking for at once..."
In the letter to the Minister (on the copy, Pasteur added in his own hand the first line: "Monsieur le Ministre", and at the end: "signed L. Pasteur"), he asks to be put at his disposal "20 sheep from the Alfort flock.
The experiments that are going on in my laboratory on the vaccination of sheep to preserve them from Anthrax have gone beyond the period of preliminary studies that could not be carried out without the sacrifice of a fairly large number of these animals. For his next experiments, which are aimed at practical application, the mortality should prove greatly reduced or nil, and these 20 sheep, once used, will be returned to their flock. He also asked for "the authorization to send others in my possession, vaccinated sheep, which have become useless for my research, at least for the moment, and that we will go and test them later on the spot, Mr. Chamberland, Mr. Roux and I, for the duration of the vaccine immunity. They will take advantage of this to inform the teachers and students of the Alfort School of "these new principles of general pathology. The relations that could be established between this establishment and the laboratory that I direct would benefit the general interest"...
