Sir,
retary
I have today examined Mr C. W. Durran, Sec-
to the Sanitary Board, Hongkong, and have
the honour to report that of late years he says he
has lost weight considerably and been subject to
dyspeptic attacks and a number of minor ailments
a statement which has been confirmed to me by Dr
Atkinson, Colonial Surgeon, Hongkong. His appear-
ance suggests premature senility and his ramulous
inconsequent conversation indicates, in my opinion,
a degree of mental debility
These are conditions not likely to be im-
proved by extension of leave and I do not consider
that he will be fit for his duties even after six
months longer in England.
I am,
Sir,
499
Your obedient Servant,
Falchulauser.
The Under Secretary of State,
Colonial Office, London.
