Level	Item
Title	Letter from Matthew Logan Taylor to Alan Hay Milne, Secretary, Liverpool School of Tropical Medicine
Date	8/6/1903
Description	Says that W T Prout's letter in the British Medical Journal of 6/6/1903 (Ross/74/04) is not worth bothering about. He is 'saying some pretty straight things about the Freetown municipality and Prout's work' in his report and although what Prout says on paper looks impressive, it is misleading to anyone who does not know Freetown.
