Surg. E. M. Seabrook,
Sir,
We, the undersigned, finding the
room now occupied by the officer of the day very inadequate to our wants and ___
on account of the number of medical officers now on duty, respectfully request
that the carpenters shop be removed the noise of which is excessively annoying
to us, and no doubt to yourself, and the same be fitted up for our
accommodation. Believing that you are disposed to render those(?) under you
charge as comfortable as circumstances will permit, we have made this request,
and hoping this petition will meet with your favourable consideration
We are Very Respectfully
Your Obdt Servants
C. Lee Dunkley
R(?). M. Harper
J. L. Dorset
