Dear General Henderson,
This is to explain my telephone
message asking you to see Atkinson and myself this afternaon.
We have been talking over the possibility of
devising machinery for so regulating the cost of upkeep of
the proposed Hongkong Extension of the R. F. C. Hospital that
the limit of the funds made available shall not be exceeded,
with regard to the expenditure of these, we both feel that a
special responsibility rests upon us and we neither of us
can think of any other way of discharging it than by means
of some such separation of the staff and maintenance
expenses as was outlined in the draft 'constitution' which
I submitted to you a month or so ago. We have now
prepared a new draft, of which I enclose a copy,
and on
which we have endeavoured to meet your objections to the
old one conveyed through Sir Thomas Berridge,
We are
anxious to submit it to you before bringing the matter
No comments yet.
Private notes are available after approval.
