cholera should not again visit us; for the same precautions which will tend to
mitigate the severity of one of this class of diseases will be equally available in

which they have carried into effect my several proposals to improve the health
of the district.
I am,
Gentlemen,
Your obedient Servant,
JOHN LIDDLE.
