of Doctors and Nurses engaged; but this wo need not at present ???
take into consideration.
Another matter I wish to bring under your notice is, that rapid
inter-communication amongst the various Sanitary Authorities is
now a matter of vital importance. Telegrams are too expensive
and cumbersome; messengers and the penny post are too slow; but

I have now referred to most of the points bearing upon the
subject, and I leave the matter in your hands to take such steps as
you may think fit, and am Gentlemen,
Your obedievnt serant,
GEORGE PADDOCK BATE,
Medical Officer of Health.
