"...years, and I have internal warnings of the danger I run try to do too much."

"These warnings have received for some time past, and when requested to undertake Dr Marques' duties I could only represent my inability."

"My letter of 19th instant does not appear to have been sufficiently clear; anxious days among the sick followed by disturbed and sleepless nights must account for this.

"My time is engrossed with the care of the sick, of whom I have now 84, including Dr Marques, in Hospital, and instead of being allowed necessary recreation and repose, little leisure is taken up in answering such charges."

"In my letter of the 10th, I stated that physical inability was the main cause of my failure to meet His Excellency's wishes: I should have said there it was the sole cause: the rest of the letter being merely subsidiary, tending to show that there are many strong reasons why I should not have been asked to do the extra work."

"I shall take the opportunity to appear before the Council at its next meeting if the state of my health will permit me.

(Signed) C.J. Wharry, M.D., Superintendent"
