Nind to Newcastle

I have the honour to inform your Grace that having been under
medical treatment for a nervous disorder since I arrived in
England from British Columbia in March and that any recovery being
still postponed, I am recommended to apply for an extension of
leave until the spring of next year by my medical adviser Dr Gull from whom I enclose an opinion.
*

Feeling that under the circumstances a complete restoration to
health is essential to the proper fulfilment of my duties in
British Columbia, I trust your Grace will not deem it inexpedient
to increase the length of my furlough to the time recommended. My
address for the next fortnight will be 8 Guildford Street, Russell
Square.
