sir,

With reference to previous correspondence

in 4958/07 C.5.0., I forward herewith a letter from Messrs.

Denison, Ram and Gibbs and a plan of the locality of the pro-

-posed plague hospital at Wanchai. The site has already been

approved by the Principal Civil Medical Officer and the Committ-

-ee will come into actual possession of I.L. 790 on the lst.

July. I am requested by the Chinese Public Dispensaries Committ-

-ee to apply for a grant of the portion of Crown land adjacent

to I.L. 790 shown on the accompanying plan. The feelings of

the neighbours must be respected if the hospital is to be

built by voluntary subscriptions, and it is therefore necessary

to remove the hospital as far as possible from inhabited houses

consistent with its remaining accessible and not so much

isolated as to render patients averse to entering it. The road

on which it is proposed to place the hospital is not a

thoroughfare. The plan of the buildings will very probably be

considerably modified, the dispensary being placed nearest the

District Watchman Station and the hospital being either a one

storied building or reduced in size. Beds for 20 patients will

be sufficient.
