sir,

Civil Hospital,

28 SEP 39,

August 17th. 1889.

With reference to C. S. O. Letter No. 2198, 1

have the honour to inform you that in answer to my

application for Colonial employment, made in April last

I received a letter from Mr. Just, the secretary to the

Colonial Office, requesting me to call on him at the

Office.

During the interview he informed me that the

post was that of Medical Superintendent of the recently

built Fever Hospital, and stated that it was a newly

created appointment, not the slightest reference being

made to my being required to act as Assistant Superin-

tendent of the Civil Hospital.

No written details of any kind, descriptive

of the post were shewn me, and it is only since av arri-

val here that I have seen the full particulars. Indeed

had 1 seen them before. I should not have thought of

accepting the post, which I consider of too unimportant

and suoordinate a character for a man of my status in

the profession.

Dr. P. B. d. Avres,

Colonial Surgeon

&c.
