Certified that I have Examined
the Revd James Irwin
Colonial Chaplain
and
find
that he has been suffering from
Bowel affection - for some
time past.
His appearance denotes Cachixia, which is characterized
by loss of flesh, debility,
loss of Appetite
Taking into Consideration these Circumstances as well as the mental depression, under
which he is laboring I strongly recommend, that leave of
Absence be granted to him to enable him to proceed to England
by the earliest and most convenient opportunity
