The death of probationer Miss Denny from a morphia overdose was mourned. Delegates were named for a Hospital Association and a July conference in Bridgetown.

The chairman joined the finance committee, Slater joined the accrowats committee, and staff pressures were noted with a new probationer and efforts to hire a laundress and a doubly-certified nurse.
