suggest that it would be in accordance with modern usage and the duties which these ladies will probably have to perform if Miss Castmond were given the title of Matron and Miss Thompson that of Assistant Matron. It would also much add to the chances of the present experiment proving a success if the Colonial Government were to bear in mind that most trained nurses are ladies by birth and education and that they should be treated accordingly.
All the Nurses have furnished satisfactory medical certificates and have signed agreements embodying the terms of their appointment, and we have engaged passages for them in the SS. Glenyle appointed to sail from London about the first week in September. I return herewith the Governor's despatch No. 92 of the 7th of April and also the three copies of the annual report of the Colonial Surgeon for 1888, lent us from the Colonial Office Library, and I enclose for record in the Colonial Office copies of the forms of agreement into which the Nurses have entered.
