Excerpt from Sanitary Conditions on the Isthmus of Panama Reply: Reply of the Isthmian Canal Commission to the Report of Dr. C. A. L. Reed With Letters of the President and Secretary of War in Reference Thereto I herewith transmit the answer Of the Commission to the charges contained in the report of Dr. C. A. L. Reed, to me as to the sanitary provisions made by the Isthmian Canal Commission on the Isthmus. I think that a reading Of the two documents will Show what indeed was apparent on the face of Dr. Reed's statement - that his charges against the Commission were biased and controversial, and not written in the judicial spirit that inspires confidence in their justice and accuracy.
