sir,
Civil Hospital,
28 SEP 39,
August 17th. 1889.
With reference to C. S. O. Letter No. 2198, 1
have the honour to inform you that in answer to my
application for Colonial employment, made in April last
I received a letter from Mr. Just, the secretary to the
Colonial Office, requesting me to call on him at the
Office.
During the interview he informed me that the
post was that of Medical Superintendent of the recently
built Fever Hospital, and stated that it was a newly
created appointment, not the slightest reference being
made to my being required to act as Assistant Superin-
tendent of the Civil Hospital.
No written details of any kind, descriptive
of the post were shewn me, and it is only since av arri-
val here that I have seen the full particulars. Indeed
had 1 seen them before. I should not have thought of
accepting the post, which I consider of too unimportant
and suoordinate a character for a man of my status in
the profession.
Dr. P. B. d. Avres,
Colonial Surgeon
&c.
