24, Great George Street, Westminster, 15th May, 1854.

Gentlemen,

Absence from England prevented my uniting with Sir William Cubitt in drawing up his remarks^ dated 25th February, 1854, on the joint Report of Messrs. Bazalgette and Haywood, on a proposed system of intercepting drains throughout that portion of the Metropolis lying on the north side of the River Thames.

I therefore now take leave to lay before you a few observations on that Report; and before doing so may premise, that it is not my intention to revert^ to those points touched upon by Sir William Cubitt, as I entirely concur in the opinion he has given respecting the general merits of the plan, and the estimated cost of carrying it out.
