Madam,

India Office
20 February 1897.

With reference to your letter of the 10th instant, addressed to the Secretary of State for the Colonies, I am directed by the Secretary of State for India to inform you that the Bombay Government accept the offer of your services as nurse for plague patients in Bombay. It is understood that you will draw half salary from Hong Kong Funds while in the service of the Bombay Government, provided that the term of that service does not exceed the period of your half pay leave which expires on 1st September next. Lord George Hamilton proposes that you shall receive from Indian revenues the salary usually paid in Bombay to a first-class nurse, (with effect from the date of your arrival there), together with first-class passages from London (or Paris) to Bombay and thence to Hongkong.

As it is desirable that you should proceed to India without delay I am to request that you will inform me as soon as possible by what route and at what date you intend to sail, in order that a passage may be secured for you. If you proceed direct from Paris, the cost of your railway ticket to Marseilles or Brindisi will be reimbursed to you.

I am, Madam,
Your obedient Servant,
J.S. Bernard
Secretary,
Revenue & Statistics Department.

Is McIntosh,
117, Rue Notre Dame des Champs,
Paris.
