REPORT OP THE HOSPITAL NURSES' INSTITUTION.

      I HAVE been very well satisfied with the manner in which the Matron and the nurses
have performed their duties during the past year. I attribute this result mainly to
the careful way in which Mrs. Hickey, the Matron, has carried out the important work
entrusted to her. I believe the other officers of the hospital have been equally satisfied with
the excellent nursing of the sick. It would now be impossible to get on satisfactorily
without the nurses, so absolutely' essential have they become to the thorough working of
this institution.

      I trust you will have no difficulty in procuring funds wherewith to maintain our
establishment of nurses in full working order.

Yours very sincerely,
