event of the illness or
McCallum there is no
absence of Mr.
in
person
the Colony qualified to replace him. If the appointment at the Civil Hospital is filled up as recommended, the Sanitary Inspector and the Apothecary could each act for a time as a substitute for the other in case of need.

As it is almost ... impracticable to carry out Mr. ... Chadwick's recommendations until a Sanitary Inspector has been appointed, I would venture to suggest that Your Lordship's decision respecting Mr. McCallum's appointment might be communicated by Telegram. It would then be received a few days after Sir George Bowen's arrival, who would thereby be enabled to issue orders without further delay.

I have the honour to enclose papers with particulars of the two appointments.
I have the honour to be,
My Lord,
Your Lordship's Most Obedient Humble Servant,
Administering the Government.
