Hongkong, 30 May, 1853

Mr. Hare has been suffering

some time from Dyspepsia and general debility, with hepatic derange -

ment, owing

in a

to a protracted residence

tropical climate . The state of vital manifestation generally)

is

recommend that he should obtain at

least eighteen month's leave of absence to Europe, to insure his restoration to health.
