I believe): http://www.yale.edu/amstud/inforev/riis/title.html

Dear New York Historians:

The query below came to New York History Net. Can anyone help her?



Dear Ms. DiSalvo,

Beyond Griscom's Report, I'm at a loss. I'll post your query to the New York
History listserv.

Hello:

I'm a graduate student at University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee.  I'm
researching the sanitary conditions in New York City during the 1840's.  Any
information would be appreciated.  I am reading John H. Griscom's "Report on
the Sanitary Conditions in New York City, 1845"

Thank you.
