**written on receipt of the Governor's requisitionation,
Saturday evening, and late on Sunday morning after a disturbed night, I dispatched, without revision on Sunday Morning, the matter being urgent.
I have it on my hands in Hospital a sick list of all nationalities, some of whom are in a critical condition.
The unending struggle with disease and death on behalf of three sufferers, carried on as it is unaided, cannot fail occasionally to induce a very bad frame of mind, and the strain on me tends to produce the worst form of official correspondence. I have been found very wanting in my letter-writing, critically considered. No body is more conscious of their shortcomings than myself, and nobody regrets mine; but while, from the nature of my work, I am likely to be a bad letter-writer, the work itself in the Hospital is attended with a large measure of success.
On this ground, I might be thought to deserve a certain degree of consideration, but it appears that in the adoption of the present extreme measure, the difficulties of my position do not seem to have been taken into account.
I have, etc.,
C. Mary, M.D., Superintendent.
