Having regard to the great wealth of many of the Chinese residents here, and the large sums of money which they expend on their festive national processions and shows every year, I think it not improbable that an appeal to them to contribute money to establishing a well-conducted Hospital for the relief of their countrymen might be partially successful. In fact, I believe that in any case there are many Chinese, who are quite willing, if properly applied to, to give material aid, and some $8,000 to $10,000 dollars might be raised for the purpose in this town. The Government might from the public fund give $4,000, even much more if it could be bestowed with advantage, and it is not that it already maintains the Civil Hospital, which is resorted to by Chinese, the Government might fairly be expected to give a yet larger sum.
I enclose a document showing that the idea of a Chinese Hospital is not a new one.
The Hospital ought to afford accommodation for at least 100 Chinese sick, of whom 20 might be of the moribund class for whose accommodation Chinese prejudice and superstition require apparently some place like the notorious "I-toy", only it might be regarded...
