of an office which is concerned in the welfare of nearly a
quarter of a million of persons, and that I could only acquit
myself of this responsibility by the free discharge of my
duties.
With this record my report must close, and, in conclusion, I
need not say that I have not abandoned my seven years' work
in St. Pancras without sincere regret, I do not intend to discuss
further the circumstances which brought about my retirement,
they are sufficiently known to the Vestry, but, in writing my last
1 report, I would desire to thank the Chairman and Vice-Chairman
of the Sanitary Committee, and those other Members of the
Vestry who have supported me in the performance of my duties,
and to express the pleasure I have felt in promoting, so far
as was iu my power, the sanitary welfare of St, Pancras.
I have the honor to be,
Gentlemen,
Your obedient Servant,
SHIRLEY F. MURPHY,
Late Medical Officer of Health for the
Parish of St. Pancras.
