“
. . . I am writing a paper on India Sanitary things (for your Edinburgh meeting) . . . .
“
I have a paper ready on the Sanitary Statistics of Colonial Native Schools & Hospitals
drawn up upon returns sent out for me (to be filled up by the kindness of the Colonial
Office[)]. It is printed for convenience’ sake as there are many tables. Allusion was made to it,
not only imperfectly but incorrectly at the Newcastle meeting of the Brit:Association. Otherwise
it has never seen the light.
“
Would you like to have it for the Edinburg meeting? If so, I must, I believe shorten it . For, if
you adhere to your rule of 20 min:, it is, I doubt [not], too long.
“
At the Berlin International Statistical Meeting, I exhibited some Hospital Forms for Surgical
Operations (registering)—as I did 3 years ago, at the London one, for general registering of
hospital cases.
“
At Dublin you had a paper of mine on these former tables, two years ago.
“
Would you like to have (similarly) these Surgical Operations Tables for Edinburgh?”
