copy of the temperature chart (which on the statement to me by

Mr. Eves on the evening now in question, is similar to the

temperature before Mr. Ross came in to Hospital), and (3) a copy of this letter may be sent for His Lordship's consideration. And I beg that these papers, with any others deemed necessary,

may be placed before the Medical Adviser to the Colonial Office

for his decision as to whether I failed in my duty in regarding

the case as one not demanding a night visit at a distance of eighteen miles over broken-up country roads; and that with this

evidence before him His Lordship may consider whether I am

blameworthy in this matter.

The payment of the $50 fee is a trifling

matter, in comparison with the more important questions involved

but inasmuch as the payment of the penalty is the token of the responsibility for it, I beg that His Lordship, if he decide that my long special experience gave me the right to judge as to the question of urgency, and that my public career justifies

the belief that my decision was 'bona fide' and not due to any

wish to shirk duty, may direct that this fee be refunded to me.

May I further ask that His Lordship's

decision may be communicated to me directly at my home address,

viz.:-

To

the Honourable

Dr. J. H. Atkinson,

100, Thirlestane Road,

Edinburgh.

I have etc.,
