Sir,

You will retain the Bearer Mrs. Stickney in your Hospl until she is able to secure a situation.

Very Respy Your Obt Servt

Med. Director

Surg. Habersham [Surgeon in Charge Div. 2]

To Surg. J. B. McCaw

The written order relates to a woman who I discharged from the Hospital after having hired her for a month, and finding her insubordinate and a pest and complained of on all sides, refused to retain her. It seems she has worked upon the feelings of the Med. Director. I of course shall obey the order, but with this protest, that she is a dangerous character about a Hospital.
