Eseling Colonial Surgeon to Acting Colonial Secretary:
Cofing.) Sir,
Government Civil Hospital, Hongkong, 7th November, 18...
I have the honour to transmit to you a letter I received at 11.15 am. to day from the Superintendent of the Civil Hospital relative to your communication to me on the Medico-legal work of Dr. Jacques. Sencore. I also attached the notes, and forwarded to Dr. Wharry at 6.30 pm yesterday (6th hour) and marked urgent.
You will see from Dr. Wharry's letter that he still refuses to do the work. Under the circumstances I have at considerable sacrifice of time and tax on my physical endurance done this additional work so far and will continue to do it.
Don: I. Stewart, LL.D. (Acting Colonial Secretary)
