Abstract

A letter from James Hoar, the overseer of Waterloo Point Convict Station, to Dr GF Story, dated 22 February 1839. In this letter, Hoar requests medicines and discusses patients such as 'Frisk', who he believes will not be harmed by 'a little work', as he can 'eat and drink and smoke and walk about' with little trouble.
