Scope and content

Comprises correspondence with Captain Thomas R Mackie (United States Navy, retired) relating to his experiences of having low blood pressure whilst being operated on for a hernia, which he believed led to him having brain seizures and cancer. Correspondence also relates to Mackie's suspicions that his food was being drugged at his care home, and that this was causing further seizures.

Includes copies of letters that Mackie sent to others, including Senator Edward Kennedy, press cuttings regarding Cancer research in the United States, and a letter from Mackie's friend (Captain W H Hazzard, United States Navy, retired) thanking Bronowski for his consideration.
