To the Council of the City of Westminster,
Mr. Mayor, My Lords and Gentlemen,
In presenting this my twenty-ninth and last Annual
Report on the Sanitary condition of St. George's, Hanover
Square, I wish to express my regret at the severance of a
connection which has lasted for over a quarter of a century,
and the sense of my obligation to the members of the late
Vestry of St. George's, and more especially to the Committee
of Works, at whose hands I have always received the
kindest and most considerate treatment. This severance is
ilue to circumstances over which I have had no control, and
although I should have been glad to continue my work at
St. George's, I did not apply for the post of Medical Officer
