In the letter, Bryce discusses the critical need for repairs and expansion at the hospital: "Patients are coming in very rapidly, and I have no doubt we will be nearly full by next fall." While acknowledging other difficulties facing the governor and the state, he argues that the institution has proven itself to be worthy of such an investment: "Our Hospital has a splendid reputation, and from the account I have from other similar institutions of overwhelming indebtedness, internal confusion, mismanagement, and in some cases almost total annihilation, I am beginning to feel that we deserve it. We are supporting the insane in a manner satisfactory to every one, on less than any other institution in the land; and now (- my confreres would hardly believe it! -) we propose to keep up repairs and make extensive additions without asking additional aid." |
