Letter to James Cossar Ewart from [William Burgess], 11 July 1917

 Item
Identifier: Coll-14/9/23/6

Scope and Contents

Burgess states that if Ewart's article on the saving of child life were condensed into a tract and made comprehensible to ordinary people, it would be invaluable. He has a small dairy and sells milk to his neighbours, so he will ask the district nurse to keep a watch on new babies. He offers to submit a draft of a condensed version of the article for Ewart's approval, and believes the Board of Trade would print and circulate it.

Author's signature is unclear.
