I hope that on further consideration Your Excellency will agree that the circumstances of the case made it necessary and desirable to adopt the course I followed.

I have decided to advise His Excellency that the facilities for the treatment of lunatics existing in the Colony are not suitable, and that when he learns that I was resident in Hong Kong some sixteen years ago, he will understand my opinion on the comparative desirability of retaining Roddy here.

I am forwarding him to Shanghai where there is no suitable institution for the detention and treatment of raving lunatics. The General Hospital has no padded rooms or other facilities for treating them and refuses to receive them.

The only means at my disposal for taking care of him were such as the Consular Guard afforded. It was impossible to retain him in this institution which had no cells adopted for the treatment of lunatics.
