Hong Kong 24th April 1880.

I am directed by His Excellency the Governor to request you to inform the Superintendent of the Civil Hospital that the Governor concurs in the views expressed by Dr Mackinnon, and Dr O'Brien and yourself.

I am to add that His Excellency regrets the tone of the Superintendent's observations which he considers ill become a Subordinate Officer while commenting on the actions of his superiors.

Your most Obedient Servant,

Acting Colonial Secretary

Government Civil Hospital Hong Kong July 10th 1880
