Diary kept at Fort St. George. 271 
You will find the numbers remaining in the hofpital 
do not agree with the number received, difcharged, 
and deceafed, becaufe it frequently happens, that pa- 
tients are received and difcharged between the begin- 
ning and end of the month, of courfe cannot come into 
the number remaining at the end of the month. 
The number received and difcharged are taken from 
the hofpital books, kept by a clerk.
