Mr. Hare has been suffering

some time

for from Dyspepsia and general debility, with hepatic derange-

vital

ment, owing to a protracted residence in a tropical climate . The state of vit manifestation generally is materially lowered, and urgently demands a speedy removal to a temperate climate. Under those circumstances, I strongly

recommend

that he should obtain at least eighteen months leave of absence to Europe, to

insure his restoration to health.
