The Wardmasters are apparently compelled to take responsibilities upon them that should not be permitted, and yet not allowed to exercise authority and supervision over the nurses.

In former years I drew up a set of rules for the guidance of the Wardmasters and nurses, and forwarded them to Government in a letter dated 30th July, 1880, which were not sanctioned by H.E. Sir J. Pope Hennessy and only partially sanctioned afterwards by the Authorities at home, after a letter dated 4th Sept addressed by me to the Right Honourable the Secretary of State for the Colonies and forwarded through the Government of Hongkong, to which I beg you to refer.

On these matters, I consider myself entitled to interfere with the Superintendent in the management of the Hospital, and have therefore reported these matters as a subject I consider necessitating enquiry.

I have, &c.

My Dear Dr Ayres,

A Chinaman has been brought just now to this Hospital with a bullet wound over the sacral region, the bullet went through the intestines. The man is crying.

I do not think that Dr. Murray did request No... to take his place during his stay at the Peak, I think you ought to report the fact to you, asking for your advice.

Yours truly,

L. P. Marques
