Sir,
Houghing, Sept. 8, 1889.
I have the honor to
inform you
that the Honorable
Mr. Napier, Clerk of the Works, has been for
some time in a very declining state
of health, in such an
alarming state
of debility and
atrophy, arising from functional
or organic disease
of the liver
and spleen, especially
the latter,
that I am of opinion that his life depends upon
immediate removal to
a more congenial climate; and I beg to
request...
To Charles St. George Cleverly, Chief Surveyor General.
