![[VI.] Viscount Gormanston, K. CM. G., to the Governors of the Colonies of Barbados, British Honduras, Jamaica, Leeward Islands, Trinidad and the Windward Islands. British Guiana. Government House, * Georgetoion, Demerara, 22nd June, 1888. Sir,— With reference to my despatch * No. 2,388 of the 14ith April, relative to the adoption of a uniform system of quarantine throughout the West Indies, I have the honour to acquaint you that the Secretary of State for the Colonies, to whose notice I brought the matter, has informed me that His Lordship is of opinion that it loould be desirable that a conference of delegates from each of the West Indian Colonies should be held to consider the question, and has suggested that such con- ference should meet in this Colony and further that he had forwarded to you a Circular despatch recommending this course. I have the honour, therefore, to enquire whether Your Excellency's Government is prepared to send a delegate or delegates to such a Conference. I would propose that the Con- ference should be held at Georgetoion on the 6th of October next. I have, Sfc, {Signed) G ORMANSTON.](https://iiif.wellcomecollection.org/image/b21297678_0239.jp2/full/800%2C/0/default.jpg)
