I am directed by the Sanitary Committee to call your attention
to the matter, under the hope that you will give the Port
Authorities the necessary instructions to prevent any chance of
articles, supposed to be infected, being again sent to the Lambeth
wharf. I need hardly point out the great danger which might
arise from infected rags, or other articles being opened and
handled by the men at the wharf.
I have the honor to be, Sir,
Your obedient Servant,
To the President of the Henry J. Smith,
Board of Trade, Clerk to the Vestry.

your letter of the 4th of August.
I am, Sir,
