The Matron gives out the necessary articles for the
various wards and the house. The articles for
clothing are given to the seamstress, who has to
show so many articles made from so many yards of
material received by her. These books are, of course,
frequently examined by the Committee and the Clerk.
I can speak with confidence of the great care and
attention given by the Matron and Steward at all
times.
I desire to add that I have received from the
Charge Nurses most valuable and willing assistance;
Nurse Shrouder has been with me for over three
years, and had charge of scarlet fever wards and of
diphtheria; Nurse Morris has been here for over two
years; has had charge of the diphtheria wards, and
when the Farm was opened was placed in charge as
Acting Matron in addition to her nursing duties.
I have the honour to be, Gentlemen,
Your obedient Servant,
D. S. SKINNER,
Medical Superintendent.
