Dear Sir,

I shall be very glad to look over your vaccination essay, but I have not the rest of the evidence given before the Commission and doubt whether there is much more to be said. I am myself favourable to vaccination but, of course, compulsion is a different matter & [2] one which is highly arguable and the arguments in favour of which have undoubtedly been weakened by recent admissions.

Yours very truly | Charles W. Dilke1 [signature]

Dilke, Charles Wentworth (1843-1911). British Liberal and radical politician.
