Artificate of
a copy of the medical certificate given by the doctors who have attended me during the past year, (and who have probably the largest private practice in the Colony), from which Your Lordship will observe that they strongly recommend me to leave the Colony before March, always a trying month in this climate.
I have, therefore, been compelled, much against my will, to make arrangements for leaving on the 19th instant in the French Mail Steamer, and I have taken this step with the greater reluctance owing to the approaching visit of Their Royal Highnesses the Duke and Duchess of Connaught, whom I had hoped to be able to welcome to the Colony.

I have the honour to be,
My Lord,
Your Lordship's Most obedient, humble servant
William Deane
