Turning to another subject, you will, I think,

be glad to know that the Governor has given me formal

permission to include provision for a Deputy Director of

Health Services in the Estimates for 1939. I venture to

mention this point because the Secretary of State has

already on a previous occasion intimated that he would

be prepared to support such an appointment, and I felt

that you might wish to have time to consider the merits

of various officers for the post. As you will remember

I have already ventured to submit a name for your

consideration in the event of this Government agreeing

to the appointment which agreement has now been

reached.

I have not yet received a reply regarding

the conditions of service for Sisters but no doubt

that is coming by ordinary ocean mail.

Yours sincerely,

(Sgd.) R.S. SELWYN CLARKE.
