Government Civil Hospital, Hongkong, 31st July

2220

I have the honor to acknowledge receipt of your letter of the 17th instant with reference to the complaint I felt it my painful duty to make about Dr. Harary.

I quote its contents with considerable surprise because the previous communications with which His Excellency had favoured me in reply to similar complaints, and the reports of Surgeon General and Deputy Surgeon General Mackinnon, C.B., had not prepared me for its tenor.

Under the present circumstances and in the difficulty which I have laboured in conducting the affairs of the Government Civil Hospital, I am compelled to ask His Excellency's official approval of the subjoined Rules which I propose to send to Dr. Harary for his observance, and without which I fear it will not be possible for me to obtain the necessary information which, as Head of the Medical Department, I am entitled to possess.

I have the honor to be,

Proposed Rules —

1. Upon the daily morning visit to the Hospital, the Superintendent — unless unavoidably prevented — shall make it his duty to meet the Colonial Surgeons at the Clerk's office.
