CPL.J in at once Ivo 23027 sir, With reference to my Despatch No. 190 of the 9th instant, under cover of which I transmitted for your information Professor Simpson's preliminary memoranda on plague, I have the honour to inform you that acting on Professor Simpson's advice, the Sanitary Board have during the past few months made many recommendations to the Government, with the view of checking the advance of the disease, all of which I have caused to be carried out thoroughly and promptly. I propose soon to lay before you a complete statement of the measures taken to cope with the disease, with an account of the large expenditure which they have necessitated up to the present. Most of the measures to which I refer have been recommended either by the Sanitary Board after consultation with Professor Simpson or by Professor Simpson himself in his memoranda.

One of the measures to which I refer has been the temporary engagement of a number of Japanese doctors trained in bacteriology and plague work, to assist the permanent Medical Staff in the examination of bacteria and infected vermin and the diagnosing of plague cases. The history of this matter is as follows.
