MADAM,
GENERAL DEPARTMENT,
POONA, 15th September, 1897.
I am directed by His Excellency the Governor in Council to send for your information an extract from a report by the late Mr. W. C. RAND, I.C.S., on the measures adopted for the suppression of plague in Poona. I am to say that, had your address been known, His Excellency in Council would have taken an earlier opportunity of expressing his own appreciation of the services you rendered whilst working under the Plague Committee in Poona. This appreciation is enhanced by the recollection that you were the first skilled nurse to offer your services, and that the offer was in the fullest sense voluntary.
I have the honour to be,
Madam,
Your most obedient Servant,
J. D. C. ATKINS,
Secretary to Government.
