Dr. Black,
Dear Sir—As some misunderstanding appears to exist in the community with reference to your recent Report on the quality of the water supplied to Dunedin, will you oblige me by replying to the annexed questions? of course adding thereto any explanations you may consider necessary to prevent your replies being made use of unfairly, either for or against the quality of the water; my only object being to elicit the real facts in a form which all the public can understand.
Yours truly,
Robert Gillies.
Chairman of Directors of the Water Works Company,
