My dear Marques,

You are quite right.

Ayres is quite wrong

when he says you were distinctly informed that the F.M. work

formed no part of your duties. If Ayres will read the Col.

Secy.'s letter he will see his mistake. Ayres is also wrong

in saying that inthis case you are taking a great responsibility

on yourself without any authority for so doing. When you do

anything at my request you have no responsibility whatever: I

alone am responsible for the official work which I ask you to

do, and your answer to Ayres is all that is necessary to clear

you.

Sir,

Friday.

Lock Hospital,

May 3rd 1888.

I have the honour to lay before you the request

of the patients in the Lock Hospital that they may be served

with meat daily instead of only twice a week.

I propose to give them meat at dinner, and the

following scale of diet which is the old one slightly altered,

will be supplied by the Compradore, for the same price as be-

fore; 11 cents per head.
