Correspondence with other Mental Hospitals

These files contain information relating to staff wages, hours of work and pensions, on the cost of maintaining patients and the fees charged, and on many other administrative details.

Both incoming and outgoing material is included See RET 5/6 for other correspondence on staff matters and organisation. For Pensions see RET 3/7
