I should like to have a copy put in, the next time you
come here.
Do you know if these instructions have been conveyed verbally to the ratcatchers by the Inspectors ?
I have no question the Inspectors did not explain the instructions I gave, but I wrote to the Plague Inspacios saying they must note that the ratcatchers had no legal right of entry, and that they could only go into
a house by courtesy of the tenant.
