![[III.] Lord Knutsford to Viscount Gormanston. Downing Street^ mh May, 1888. My Lord, I have the honour to acknowledge the receipt of your despatch'^ No. 124 of thelSth of April, transmitting Resolu- tions passed by the Quarantine Board of British Guiana in favour of the adoption of a uniform system of Quarantine through- out the West Indies. 2. I am disposed to think that it would he desirable that a Conference of Delegates f^om each of the TVest Indian Colonies should be held to consider whether they can agree upon establish- ing uniformity in Quarantine Begulations, and I suggest, therefore, that you should invite the Governors of the other West Indian Colonies to send delegates to such a Conference at Georgetown. 3. I enclose copy of a Circular f desimtch which I have addressed to the Governors of these Colonies. 4. It would, I fear, be useless to request the co-operation of Foreign Gove^mments until it can be ascertained whether the British Colonies are prepared to adopt a uniform system. I have, 8fc., {Signed) KNUTSFOBB. Governor The Bight Eon'ble Viscount Gormanston, K.C.M.G., Sfc, 8fc., Sfc, * See No. I.
