| Description | Typed letter, dated 26 March, in which Chamberlain, Highbury, Birmingham, writes to Josiah Austin, Provident Dispensary, Nechells [Birmingham], thanking him for his 'interesting letter and criticism'. He says 'I have realised since we started that the point you mention is considered a drawback, but I have been anxious to give it a trial...I should much like to have a look over your Dispensary and a talk with yourself'. Chamberlain goes on to say that Josiah Austin's long experience would be useful and that his visit to the Provident Dispensary would help him to compare their working with that of the other dispensaries he has visited. He ends the letter by requesting a copy of the last report produced by Austin's Provident Dispensary. |
