Sir,

Government. Civil Hospital

Hong Kong 16th February 1880

I have the honor to inform you

that I

am suffering from exhaustion from overwork and I am unable to perform my

duties. I beg therefore to request that I may be granted fourteen days' leave of absence, and I shall be glad if you will be good enough to make arrangements for the carrying

on of the work of the Hospital.

I have the honor to be,

Your obedient Servant,

At C. J. Wharry

M.D. C.C. S. Juk C2 Superintendent

Colonial Surgeon

This is a more serious matter and I request that His Excellency the Governor will take the matter into consideration and if he should see fit to appoint a Board to examine into Dr Wharry's. I have too often had occasion to differ with Dr Wharry on the subject of his being overworked that this is tantamount to an accusation of injustice.

In the interval I have no doubt I can procure the services of Dr Marques who is a M.D. of Dublin to do duty during Dr Wharry's indisposition.

February 16th 1880.

Colonial Surgeon.
