I venture to again bring before the notice
of the Right Honourable the Secretary of State for the
Colonies the circumstances
under which I was
Transferred from the medical service of
Trinidad to that of this Colony. I have pointed out respectfully
I accepted this post under
a misapprehension of the conditions attaching
to it
and that I have
lost seniority and status
in this service. These facts I have fully
stated in
communication
to which I would refer
as necessary. In
my letter
of October 20. 1903,
it would be
unnecessary to recapitulate.
My
wish previously
expressed (to Trinidad) would be borne in
mind.
2. I beg to point out that I have served for fourteen years in the medical service of Trinidad
and that during that time.
I
and also had charge of
the Colonial Hospitals
in Porto Spain (430
beds) and in San Fernando (about 140 beds),
the Lunatic and the Leper Asylums
and
The Under Secretary of
State
for the Colonies.
