Dear Mr. Harris,
Thank you for your letter of the 27th instant. I
am sending, by direction of the Public Health Committee,
a copy of the report presented to that Committee
by the Chief Sanitary Inspector, and adopted by them
at their last meeting. This report is being presented
to the Council.
Yours very truly,
C. G. E. Fletcher,

Dear Mr. Fletcher,
Your letter to hand enclosing report. I am
obliged to your Committee for their prompt enquiry
into the condition in which some of the children at
Wolverley Street live. The headmaster aimed at
finding root cause for the physical condition of certain
children under his care, and his enquiry having
revealed the number that were in the room in which
they slept, it was his obvious duty to call the attention
of your Council to it.
