Letter from Louis W. Bishop to Howard E. Ames
U. S. Navy Surgeon Bishop reports to Medical Inspector Ames on the relief work in Kingston, Jamaica, following the earthquake there. Bishop describes the number of casualties and the types of medical cases. Bishop also notes that the authorities were perhaps refusing the “preferred aid of the naval medical officers” because the “ignorant Jamaican negro was the subject” of the care.
