Lacitation

As the Head of the Medical Department in this Colony, I have important duties and grave responsibilities in connection with the Civil Service, which, with Medical Officers on their present footing, I am not in a position to discharge or fulfil. The interests and welfare of the Hospital therefore impose upon me the painful necessity of appealing to Your Lordship and asking your Lordship's consideration and concurrence in the Rules which I propose, and without which, now less than ever, would it be possible for me to conduct this Institution.

I must request that Your Lordship will do me the justice to believe that I have only ventured on the step of addressing the Secretary of State after every hope has become extinct of obtaining satisfactory settlement in the Colony.

I have the honor to be,

My Lord,

Your Lordship's most obedient Servant,

Government. Civil Hospital - Hong Kong

Dated 29th December 1879.

You have been brought to my notice that you are engaged in private practice, or have been in medical attendance on Mr Shape, Captain Thomsett, and others.

I am compelled, therefore, to draw your attention to the rule that no officials are allowed to practice privately without special permission from Government.

As I am held responsible for those in any Department, it is my duty to report the matter to Government, but before doing so, I shall be happy to receive any explanation you may have to offer.

I have the honor to be,

Sir,

Your obedient Servant,

Ph.M.C. Ayres,
