"With reference to the exportation of meat to this country
"from Belgium, I shall be obliged if you kindly favour me with
"information on the following point:—
"(1) Are all beasts slaughtered in public abattoirs ?
"(2) Is all meat inspected by a Medical Officer or Veterinary
"Surgeon before being placed on shipboard ?
"(3) Is the inspection carried out in accordance with the
"recommendations of the Tuberculosis Commission in this country ?

"Sir,
"I have the honour to acknowledge receipt of your letter of the
"3rd instant, and regret to inform you that I have not in my possession
"the information you desire. I shall be very pleased to try and get the
"same for you, if you wish me to do so, but I think that the quickest
"and simplest way for you to obtain the same would be to write direct
"to H. B. M. Consul-General at Antwerp, who will probably be in a
"position to reply to you by return of post.
"I am, Sir,
"Your obedient Servant,
