Yes, the letter in the Times on “Retrograde Sanitation” was quite long and detailed for a general newspaper, even including a table. So I would expect that the writer was an acknowledged expert in the subject. I know AR had briefly studied science at Yorkshire College before going to London and the literary/publishing world. So the letter was by the medical Arthur Ransome.
