Advises that a contusion to the head has made Forbes dull of hearing but for some months his complaint has amounted to deafness and is now incapable of taking charge of his watch especially in cold weather.
Folio 324: enclosure with folios 322-326. Letter, dated 24 December 1801, from Robert Forbes, Lieutenant, HMS Edgar, to Edward Buller. Advises that he has for a long time been inflicted with deafness which is greatly increased from the season and inevitably prevents him from discharging his duty.
