Miss McLeish, private nursing staff has

disappeared since 8 p.m. on the 11th. instant.

As soon as I heard of this I informed the

police. As all her effects have gone with her the evidence

points to her having left for England by S. S. "Kanagawa Maru"

yesterday morning.

I cannot account for this extraordinary

behaviour.

As it is important we should have another

nurse in her place I would be glad if a cable could be sent

home for "private nurse"

I attach particulars of office.

Her security for return passage money

should be called upon to refund the seme.

13th. October, 1909.

Ag. P.C.1.0.

Hon. Colonial Secretary,

I forward herewith a letter from Dr. Oswald

Marriott which you may think it advisable to send to the

Colonial
