From Dr. PH. B. C. AYRES, Colonial Surgeon.
To Honourable C. C. SMITH,
Acting Colonial Secretary.
Annual Report of the Colonial Surgeon.
MINUTE BY THE ACTING COLONIAL SECRETARY.
I think that the Government is much indebted to the Colonial Surgeon for this Report, but I do not consider that it would be in any way advisable to print it in its entirety. It contains details which should be the subject of special Reports, and is in some parts misleading.
6th April, 1875.
CECIL C. SMITH, Acting Colonial Secretary.
MINUTE BY THE ADMINISTRATOR.
I quite agree with you that this cannot be printed in its entirety. I leave it entirely to your discretion to apply the pruning knife.
