CORRESPONDENCE.

aUUivuanL/ uuoi AXAXJ. TO THE KDITOK. Sib,—Will you be good enough to allow me to give an absolute contradiction to the statement contained in a paragraph of your local news in yesterday's issue, viz., "Thai Auckland may stand alongside of Adelaide with a strike of its Honorary Medical Staff." The greatest good feeling and boil accords exists amonf the members composing the honorary staff, nor has there been a scintilla of friction amongst themselves, consequently the circulation of such statements can only be made for the purpose of stultifying the good work which is now being accomplished. That matters pertaining to internal managemay have been considered 111 camera by the Board is quite possible, and that individual members of the staff may have made certain suggestions to the Board upon their individual responsibility, may be equally true, but nothing has for a moment disturbed the good feeling and harmony which exists ana characterises the efforts of the honorary visiting staff in the interests of the suffering public.—l Mil, etc., William R. Close Erson, Chairman Hon. Visiting Staff.

April 23, 1897. [It will be observed that Dr. Ersoa scarcely meets statements made in our para, graph. We never said that there was friction amongst the members of the boa medical staff.—
