In connection with the epidemic of Smallpox at Gloucester, it was suggested
that canal boats might be the means of transference of slight or missed cases.
I have appended a list of the voyage of each canal boat as it has been inspected
since June 18th.
This list will show the normal voyages of those canal boats which run to the Port of London.
