Hospital is built (and which overlooks

the Harbour) for the support of the Institution; but I have hitherto not contributed in

any shape, beyond the piece of ground for the site.

The two letters on this subject are numbered 44 and 56, of the 20th of February, and 30th of April, 1842, and will be found in the 1st Volume of the Colonial Outwards Correspondence - which I forwarded to Your Lordship by Lieutenant Colonel Malcolm.

The support of the present Hospital is one of those questions, regarding which it is impossible to say whether it belongs most strictly to the Department of the Government of this Colony, or to that of Her Majesty's Chief Superintendent of Trade;

It is needless for me to trespass on Your Lordship's time by enlarging on the necessity for such an Institution in this Colony, although there is not now time to prepare the details spoken of in the concluding passage of Mr Anderson's letter. I therefore, at present, only think it right to respectfully recommend for Your Lordship's favourable consideration, that
