Nurses, and seven Probationers, a Seamstress and an
assistant, 12 subordinate female staff, including laundry
maids; Coachman,Porter (who attends also to the Steam
apparatus for the Laundry and Disinfector). Steam is
used for heating the water in the Laundry, not for
machinery. There are also two lads to assist in the
Laundry and in the house.
There have been several changes in the nursing
staff, three have left and taken up superior positions
in other Fever hospitals. I desire to express my acknowledgements
of the valuable and willing assistance
I have received from the Matron and Steward, and
Nurses in carrying on the important duties in the
Ward.

Sanitary Committee, &c. The proposed extension included.—
