I fear there is no doubt that the sanitary condition of the Chinese part of Victoria is as bad as can be.
The report of the Colonial Surgeon in 1874 first called attention to it.
I imagine the reason why Sir J. Kennedy appointed a Commission of the Surgeon and Colonial Surgeon to investigate.
It is not known whether they ever reported, but the Colonial Surgeon was nearly killed by fever, contracted in the Chinese huts.
Nothing has been done, though the matter has been brought to the notice of the present Governor without knowing what steps should be taken.
Upon this letter, I wrote to the Governor referring to the above on 5/6/44. I say that the G.O. has again insisted upon our note. The state of the houses near the Barracks, and they
The General Health and sanitary derangements in houses are considered.
Fausted for The Chinese: that effort is made of a report by the Colonial Surgeon on the subject in 1874, and of a Commission appointed in 1875 consisting of the Colonial Surgeon & Surveyor General.

The Blue Book of 1874 contains the annual Report of The Colonial Surgeon with special remarks upon Sanitation affairs. I have seen this printed. (I remember reading this at the time) this annual Report for 1875 refers to them, and I therefore request that
I am furnished with a copy of such remarks, and with information affording The Commission a copy of any report submitted later. I also ask for a special report by the Colonial Surgeon on The Subject.
You will not require The Blue Books, so I do not send them.

This has been undertaken, with an understanding that they will be sent.

was not added as there was no clear indication of missing words, however some obvious corrections were made such as 'Tolomial' to 'Colonial', 'Junngeon' to 'Surgeon', 'Jolmial' to 'Colonial', 'connderation' to 'consideration', 'panitary' to 'sanitary', 'Victoria is' was added for context, 'Governon' to 'Governor', 'desai' wasn't clear but 'desa' to 'disease', 'Jungen' to 'Surgeon', 'Smanel' to 'General', 'anfurtiy' wasn't clear, possibly 'affording', 'Jund' to 'send', 'M. 5 they' and 'with an Milks they' weren't clear and were left as is but 'Recd my 5 May' was kept as is as it seems to be a receipt or acknowledgement. More context is needed for some of the unclear words. The text was formatted into paragraphs and some minor corrections were made to make it more readable.317
