The digest, to which the Circular remarks on Sanitary Condition, and supervision, as the prominent defects of the Hongkong Hospitals.
The attention of the Colonial Surgeon has been called to this, and an improvement is perceptible in the state of the Hospitals, water having been laid on, and baths provided for the patients. The subject of the use of Water closets is receiving consideration. The want of intelligent Wardmasters is felt, and I fear that in this Colony it will always be difficult to get fit and proper persons to fill these posts, but by providing adequate wages I have done all that the Government can do to remedy this defect.
To ensure the regular visitation of the Hospitals, I have directed a Circular to be addressed to the Justices of the Peace, Copy enclosed, requesting them to undertake in rotation the duty of inspection, which has long been the practice with regard to the Gaols of the Colony.
I trust that the steps now reported may answer their purpose, and meet with your approval.
I have the honor to be,
Sir,
Your Most Obedient Servant,
Robinson

(there is no text in page 251, so nothing is output)
Actually, there are only 3 lines at the end of the text "berentes & Robinnen", it should be corrected to Robinson, and it is likely the end of the letter, so the page number should be at the end.
The corrected output is as above, with the last name corrected to "Robinson". The original text "berentes & Robinnen" is likely a result of OCR error.
Here is the revised output in HTML format as requested:Page 250
