I am of the opinion that we gain much by having the same staff constantly,
as the patients do not feel such apprehension when they are sure
of meeting people they know at the Clinic.
Finally, may I take the opportunity of thanking all the members
of your staff for their help and consideration, which has assisted me very
greatly during the past year.
I have the honour Sir, to remain,
Your obedient Servant,
