Dear Sir:-Your letter dated the 18th
inst. came to me yesterday and I am
pleased to know that what I have done
toward improving and repairing the
Bishop Home at Kalaupapa, Molokai,
is 80 fully approved. When the further
repairs. for which I have provided
through Messrs. Bishop 4 Co.. Homo
lulu. shall have been made Every soon
now) and which will cancel an item In
my will, do not intend to expend
anything more there; but hope that
the Legislature now In session will find
1t possible to add whatever may be
necessary. so that the good Sisters and
the unfortunate women and girls un-
der their care may be made reasonably
comfortable.
No other country that I am &C.
quainted with has done as much as
Hawaii has for the lepers within Its
borders.
Mr.. Mcveigh can tell you Of my sug-
gestion for furnishing sea water for
bathing and flushing. and thereby
economizing in the use Of fresh wa,
ter which Is needed for other purposes.
The cost Of such an improvement may
be more than I am aware Of and pos
sibly prohlbitive at the present tlnc
