the London County Council in such cases, think the information
so obtained may be sufficient. I am directed, therefore, to inquire
whether the London County Council would be prepared to inform
the Medical Officer of Health of all cases of inflamed eyes notified
in this borough by midwives, in order that adequate precautions
may be taken.
I am also to ask you to be good enough to state the number
of such cases in this borough so notified during the past year.
I am, Sir,
Your obedient servant,
