Truby comments on the notebook found at the New York Academy, stating that it could be Lazear's record from the laboratory. He knows the Board went to see Finlay in early July, and that they started to raise mosquitoes at once, because he saw them in glass jars. As such, he disputes Agramonte's date for the beginning of the mosquito work. Truby believes it was Lazear, not Agramonte, who induced Reed to meet with Finlay.

ARVAS is an aggregator of archival resources. ARVAS does not have control of the descriptive language used in our members’ finding aids.

Finding aids may contain historical terms and phrases, reflecting the shared attitudes and values of the community from which they were collected, but are offensive to modern readers. These include demeaning and dehumanizing references to race, ethnicity, and nationality; enslaved or free status; physical or mental ability; religion; sex; and sexual orientation and gender identity.

Many institutions and organizations are in the process of reviewing and revising their descriptive language, with the intent to describe materials in more humanizing, inclusive, and harm-reductive ways. As members revise their descriptive language, their changes will eventually be reflected in their ARVAS finding aids.
