As accidents will, in conversation with Dr Lockhart, he impressed me with the necessity of having a medical man on the staff, unavoidable even here, will be frequent where persons totally unaccustomed to Machinery are required to work it, and in cases of injury to the workmen the cost will be very great otherwise to employ English surgeons.

As the appointment of a surgeon has not been contemplated I would suggest that the medical man selected as the assistant Assayee be a practical chemist & well used to Laboratory work; always being ready to attend in cases of accident or emergency.

In the Calcutta mint I believe the assayers are generally all Physicians or surgeons. I should think a suitable person might be found to accept this appointment at €600 per annum with allowances, quarters and conditions similar to those of the principal officers.

I have the honour to be

Your obedient Servant

The Marquis Bruder
