Again I desire to record my best thanks to the Matron and
Staff for their loyalty and devotion in carrying out their various
duties. To the Matron particularly I am greatly indebted for the
able manner in which she has supervised and controlled her Staff,
which has resulted in the best results being obtained with a minimum
of friction.
