Sir,

Aday 77033

With reference to your Despatch No. 108

of the 8th. April last, I have the honour to inform you that

the General Officer Commanding considers it desirable that

the approval of the Amy Council should be obtained for the

Principal Military Medical Officer to act as arbitrator on the

question of the use of the new Naval Hospital for Infectious

Diseases for the treatment of Smallpox patients, and that the

consent of the Admiralty should be obtained to the nomination

of the Principal Military Medical Officer as arbitrator in the

event of the Army Council agreeing to the appointment.

2.

I shall be glad if you will be good enough

to obtain the consent of both parties.

I have the honour to be,

THE RIGHT HONOURABLE

ALFRED LYTTELFON, K.C., M.P..

Your most obedient

Humble servant,
