I have professionally attended W. H. Mitchell Esqre Acting Chief Magistrate since the death of ... Starland, and hereby certify, that he has been affected with Chronic Rheumatism and frequent attacks of Asthma and Palpitation depending on Functional derangement of the heart. Mr Mitchell is at present in a depressed nervous Condition, and taking into consideration the lengthened period of his service in China, 17 years, of which the last 7 have been continuous, I am of opinion that return to Europe is absolutely necessary for the benefit of his health, and that he should do so before approaching the hot Season.
