unconscious of having offended against any of the Colonial Office regulations and I am also unaware that I have in any respect failed in my duty as Superintendent of the Government Civil Hospital.

Distd 31th December 1870

receipt of your letter of the 30th instant - and regret the style in which

I feel called upon to address the Head of your Department.

With regard to the responsibility which

you were good enough to feel for me in which I occupy my leisure, I state

that during seven years tenure of office Superintendent of the Government Civil Hospital, Acting Colonial Surgeon date,

I felt called upon to interfere with the private pursuits of my subordinates and I do not see anything in our respective positions to impose upon you duties or responsibilities with regard to my private affairs.

I am at a loss to understand the purport of your letter of yesterday

for I do not gather from it that

you have recently learned anything which you did not know six years ago, and during the last six years you

on different occasions availed yourself both personally and for patients official and private of such skill and experience

as I happen to possess.

I have the honor to be
