Sir,
I have today examined Mr H. P. Tooker and
have the honour to report that, in my opinion, he is
not permanently incapacitated from performing the
duties of Executive Engineer in the Public Works
Department, Hongkong.
Mr Tooker was insane for several
months. He is now well,
but I cannot undertake to
affirm that his recovery is permanent. He is a man
of an excessively nervous temperament and one who is
likely, in my opinion, to again break down under the
strain of work and responsibility.
He has lately undergone an operation
on his eye. He informs me that his surgeon requires
another month before treatment is complete. I would
recommend an extension of his leave to this extent.
I am,
Sir,
Your obedient Servant,
Brichmanson
The Under Secretary of State,
Colonial Office, London.
