letter of the 6th instant. The further discussion of

General Henderson's resolution need not be embarrassed by

doubts on this point.

With regard to that resolution, I note that it

is stipulated that the alternative offer of £200 monthly

to the funds of the Hospital will only be acceptable

without conditions. I may say that the offer is still

opeḥ, but I take it that it is not proposed to withdraw

the name of the Colony from the principal ward of the

parent Hospital.

This offer of £200 a month was

intended as a compromise and I hope the Committee will

agree that the acceptance of it would entitle the Colony

to expect that this one out of the three conditions

originally named would continue to be observed.

Yours faithfully,

(agd) K. STEWART,
