In forwarding these letters of the Superintendent, I have to give some explanation of their origin. After the Superintendent's receipt of His Excellency the Governor's decision that he should take charge of the Civil Hospital, which was sent to him at 5 PM on the 21st instant, I received notice from Lockheed about a case of varioloid that would require to come to Hospital.
Immediately, I wrote to the Superintendent and requested him to order the ambulance to be at the wharf at 9 AM to convey the patient to the Hospital. After conveying the patient at 10 PM, I received a note from the Superintendent, which enclosed nothing could be done that night. At 8 AM, I went down and saw the Gospel Boat and wrote to B. W. Carruthers and requested him to put his objections in writing. This letter was extremely late when I was at the Government Civil Hospital at 11 AM, and I did not get it till my return home from my rounds.
In the meanwhile, on my first visit, I found no orders had been given concerning the seaman I had written about. I therefore gave orders for the ambulance to fetch him, and for him to go to the building which has hitherto been used as a fever hospital.
Now to reply to Dr. Wharry's letter, the patients that Dr. Wharry mentions could then be received. The staff are mixed up to the halest he asked to take charge of the girl and seaman for Dr. there was ample accommodation. The patients already in the old Hospital he had nothing to do with.
In the design of the Small Pox Hospital, I had to consider that it was required as soon as possible, at not too great expense, and judge of its requirements from the need of the past six years, the building to be considered only as temporary. A larger ward would hold six people, also a small ward at a pinch. The two smaller wards were intended for one female patient and nurse and for one private patient and the head nurse. The closets are made on the dry earth system, and the night soil for the matter might be removed to a tub outside till the scavenger came. The patient can with ease have the bath at the side of their backs, a screen being used temporarily as is often done in the Hospital.
No storage is required, supplies are sent in as wanted. As little linen or bedding except those in actual use are being allowed, linen not too much soiled is disinfected and sent out. If furniture at once and bedding be required when done with, all this might have been easily arranged.
