" Gentlemen, — the honor to report that we the Hospital during the month, a~tt found everything in a satisfactory cond'tion. As there are now but two patients in the Hospital—one male and one female—we have instructed Mr» Moore to keep his assistant employed in the garden as much as possible. "In accordance with the resolution passed at last meeting, we have given instructions for painting the inside walls of the Fever Hospital, and ordered a few loads of shingle for the pathway. We would suggest that something should be done with this building, and think it might be advantageously let, upon' short notice for tenants, removal. In the event of this being done, a cross fence would be required. Bedding, beds, &c, could be removed to the Hospital. " We have passed as correct monthly accounts amounting to £55 ss. lid. " We have the honour, &c.,.
