Dear Dr. Noto,

Just a note to add some information on the ILA for the "History of Leprosy, a Tabulation View" (I refer Jo Robertson's email dated 15 February 2008).

-- President 1938-1943 Prof Emil Marchoux (Paris, France) (IJL Vol 7 p 595, 1939)
Prof. Marchoux, who made many outstanding contributions to leprosy, died 19 Aug 1943 (IJL Vol 12 p 116, 1944)

-- Dr. H. W. Wade's name was put forward for President of the ILA, and approved with acclamation, at an Extraordinary Session of the ILA held at the 2nd Pan-American Leprosy Congress in October 1946 (IJL Vol 15 p 98, 1947).

-- During the interval August 1943 - October 1946, the affairs of the ILA seem to have been handled by the Secretary-Treasurer, Dr. E. Muir.

-- Dr. W. Felton Ross was Treasurer 1988-2002.

So much for now. I will attempt to add more information at a later date. Congratulations to Jo Robertson for her initial summary, and to you for the excellent service you are rendering by the LML to the worldwide community of those interested in leprosy.

Best wishes,

Wayne M. Meyers
