Government Civil Hospital,
Hong Kong, 15th July, 1899.

With reference to the case of Stella Donnelly, as it appears impossible to get her transferred to America, I have the honour to recommend that arrangements be made with the Colonial Office for her admission to some Asylum in England.

The asylum here was never intended for the permanent treatment of lunatics; we have neither the staff nor the appliances necessary for such treatment.

On the grounds of humanity too, I make this recommendation.

The climate of Hong Kong in the summer is not a desirable one for a woman to be confined in a Lunatic Asylum; this is now her fifth summer here.

I have, &c.

(Signed.) J. M. Atkinson,
Principal Civil Medical Officer.

The Honourable
J. H. Stewart Lockhart, C.M.G.,
Colonial Secretary.
