Sir,
Enclosure 1 to Governor's Despatch No. 330 of the 24th August, 1901
From the Secretary, Hongkong Nursing Institution, to the Colonial Secretary.
No. 33958
The Peak, Hongkong, 30th July, 1901
I am directed by the Committee of the Hongkong Nursing Institution to ask you to bring the following matter to the notice of His Excellency the Governor.
In the scheme for disposition of the Jubilee Fund a Nursing Institute was included. Owing, however, to the urgent need for Private Nurses, a Nursing Institution has already been established in the Colony.
It is hoped by many of the Subscribers to the Jubilee Fund, who are also Subscribers to the Nursing Institution, that accommodation may be provided in the Jubilee Hospital for women and children, for the Nurses employed by the Institution.
In consideration of the fact that some such provision for Private Nurses was confidently expected by contributors to the Jubilee Fund, the Committee hope that three rooms may be placed at their disposal, as quarters for two Nurses.
I have etc.,
(S.) Catherine Gibbs, Hon. Secy., The Hongkong Nursing Institution.
The Honourable J. R. Stewart-Lockhart, C.M.G., Colonial Secretary.
