despatch
No 809 of the 25th of Octom,
stating your reasons against
the Provision of
a Lunatic Asylum for the Colony under
Your Government
I should be glad if you would
procure for me from the Colonial and tropical authorities
the average number of Lunatics
under their care.
It is not usual to find
an adjacent population
of 125,000 and upwards, living under a civilised
Government, being unprovided with a Lunatic Asylum
