of me which has for some years past been civilly dealt with. I owe it to his professional aid on that occasion that I was enabled to recover from Typhoid Fever in 1875 in the Government Civil Hospital, and unless my existence is to be rendered unbearable in this life.

I have much to regret that I have not shown him the consideration due to one who had been so useful to me. In overlooking many things, in doing which I may possibly have sacrificed my own interest and comfort, I have suffered with annoyance and anxiety, as well as others, in consequence.

The present state of things can no longer be tolerated, as the interest and well-being of the Establishment over which the Superintendent has charge, and of which I have supervision, must necessarily suffer. And I am reluctantly compelled to place these facts before His Excellency in order that the matter may have the fullest consideration, and the Superintendent a further opportunity of explaining his conduct.

His Excellency is well aware from the Superintendent's own statements how unwillingly he performs his duties, and of his want of ordinary courtesy to his superiors.

It is now apparent to me that unless some radical change takes place, I shall have no alternative but to request that these facts may be placed before the Secretary of State for the Colonies for decision.

I have the honor to be,

Your obedient Servant,

Ph. B. Chenery,

Colonial Surgeon.

To

The Acting Colonial Secretary.

Minute:

Write to Dr. Wharry, enclosing Dr. Chenery's letter (in original to be returned) for his explanations and report.

To Dr. Chenery, informing him that his letter has been sent to Dr. Wharry for the latter's explanations and report. Add that in reference to the concluding portion of Dr. Chenery's letter, he is under a misapprehension in thinking that Dr. Wharry performs his duties unwillingly, and that he is wanting in courtesy to his superiors.

These are grave charges which I cannot consider until I have Dr. Wharry's defence.
