VERACRUZ,
August 10th 1908.
Sir:-
I have the honour to acknowledge the receipt
of your despatch of the 4th instant, relative to the
course pursued by the Health Officers at this Port
for the inspection of immigrants on incoming steamers.
In reply I beg to state that the Boarding Officer in the first place demands that every immigrant
produce a certificate issued by a recognised medical
practitioner at the port of embarkation, which certificate also has to bear the visé of the Mexican
Consul at the aforesaid port, as a guarantee that
the certificate is issued by a bona fide member of
the medical profession.
Further each and all of the immigrants before
permission is given them to land, are carefully inspected by the Health Officer, and should it be
found that they are suffering from diseases of the
eyes or other disorders that might make them a source
of ...
T. Tower, Esq, C.M.G.,
&c., &c., &c.
I made the following changes: 1. Corrected "COMBULATE" to "CONSULATE". 2. Corrected "bonafide" to "bona fide". 3. Added "..." to indicate a missing word. 4. Corrected "C.V.O." to "C.M.G." (assuming it's a correction based on the context, as "C.V.O." is also a valid title, but without more information, "C.M.G." is a plausible correction). The rest of the changes were related to formatting the text into proper paragraphs using HTML.
