And 1864 I was in 1865 unable from sickness caused by overwork at the Calcutta to continue to perform the duties and applied to the then Acting Governor to be relieved for 12 months.

Permission was not granted and Her Excellency expressed his regret at the cause of my temporary resignation.

Finding myself in 1866 restored to health I applied to be reinstated in the appointment, by which time a new Governor had arrived and he informed me that previous to the receipt of my letter he had made arrangements for carrying out the work of vaccinating.

On my pressing my claim by a further application it was then stated by the Governor, that I was mistaken in supposing that the appointment of Vaccinator was of a permanent nature.

This statement I thought then, and still think, was not in keeping with the provisions of the Ordinance then in force.

I was a young man and did not continue to press my views on this subject owing somewhat to my own inactivity.

The appointment has taken place before I had intimated my ability to undertake the duties. I felt however, that an injury had been done and I thought that an opportunity would occur for making me some amends which did come about under the same Governor.
