It is with deep regret I have to record the death, early in 1920,
of Mr. C. Foad, sanitary inspector for the Poplar South Division.
Mr. Foad was an unwearying, most painstaking and highly conscientious
officer, a very popular colleague, and his death was
greatly deplored by the members of the Public Health Department.
I am, Sir, Ladies and Gentlemen,
Your obedient Servant,
Medical Officer of Health.
Metropolitan Borough of Poplar,
Public Health Offices, Bow Road, E.
April, 1921.
