Hongkong, lst. April, 1910.
Hon. Principal Civil Medical Officer,
I regret to inform you of the death of
John Arthur Hirst, Overseer, Public Works Department, which
occurred quite suddenly from heart failure at 5 a.m. today.
He was admitted early on the morning of the
31st. suffering from alcoholism but no signs of a fatal result
showed themselves until within a few minutes of his death.
(sd.) J. Bell,
Superintendent.
