Remaining in charge on the 31st May x 103. Increase in number during May 7. Insane Asylum All insane persons under the care of the Bureau are in a single Asylum, which is in fact a ward of Howard Grove Hospital. A new and convenient building in now in course of erection for the use of this class of unfortunates - It is expected that it will be ready to occupy in twenty (20) or twenty five (25) days. It will give good accommodations for the insane - far better than the temporary ward now occupied - and at the same time enable the Surgeon in charge to maintain a better and more satisfactory condition in all respects - Heretofore the best condition consistant with, means at hand has been maintained.
