Reprinted here for the first time, these are three letters from Lewis Carroll on the subject of anti-vaccination which he sent to the Eastbourne Chronicle. The letters were written after the case of a local grocer who had refused to have his youngest child vaccinated was prosecuted and a man named Mr Hume-Rothery wrote in his defence. Lewis Carroll took up the fight with him sending these three letters, Hume-Rothery responded with increasing rudeness and the Editor had to intervene...
