correctly that the better class of Chinese were much ashamed of the very public exposure of such questionable Chinese usages, and such apparent Chinese inhumanity, although the latter is certainly not a failing exhibited by members of the same clan or village to their neighbours. I therefore thought the opportunity a good one for reviving an old plan to establish a Chinese Hospital and I enclose the Memo in Enclosure to which I appointed a Commission to see what chance there was of raising necessary funds, and to take all other steps most expedient for the purpose.

14.

I have great pleasure in now reporting every prospect of establishing a well-conducted Chinese Hospital near the site of the I-tzee, which place has been renovated by the Chinese at an expense of $2000 and is now a suitable, though limited, place of reception for a number of patients of the poorer class. At first, I was inclined to think it ought to be altogether suppressed, but the immediate necessity for some such place became apparent from the great increase of dead bodies and dying patients found by the Police exposed in and near the town.

15.

The intention, therefore, is to have the I-tzee maintained for the present as a temporary hospital for poor patients and for the proper administration of medicine, food, and hospital clothes. Hereafter, all patients will be attended to in the new Hospital.
