# "1. That on the 8th instant you allowed a patient to escape from the premises.

3. "That you have, as reported by the head of your department, rendered yourself unfit for duty by chronic alcoholism.

"Myers should at the same time be required to state within 3 days in writing the grounds on which he relies to exculpate himself; and I am to request you to forward his statement, as soon as you receive it, to this office with any observations that you may see fit to make on it. If he fail to furnish the statement within three days, I am to request you to report the fact to me accordingly.
