Sir,
Nordrach-on-Dee, 8th April 03
Banchory, N.B.
I have the honour to acknowledge receipt of your letter 9519/1903, of date 20th March 1903, and enclosures, which I now return.
I do not recollect the particulars of Mitchell's illness, although I remember Inspector General Knott speaking to me about the man.
Dr. Knott had him under his care in the R.N. Hospital, and doubtless had good reasons for coming to his conclusions.
I probably concurred. The divergence of opinion between Drs. Knott and Atkinson can be explained. The circumstances of 1894 plague were different to those of succeeding years.
In 1894, the spread of the epidemic was so alarming that the sick had to be separated from the healthy at any cost, and the situation demanded that the Chinese should be allowed to manage their own hospitals.
The result was that, in addition to Plague patients, these were soon crowded with sick Chinese with all sorts of festering sores, and the sanitary state of these hospitals was often serious as no attendants would remain.
