He received their letter of 23rd April while a patient at Haslar Hospital appointing him Purser to HMS Princess. He wasn’t able to see Captain Colquitt before the 15th April as his successor in HMS Blossom hadn’t taken the necessary steps to get his accounts in order. He has surveyed Mr Northcote’s victualling stores and has been at some expense in joining his ship. Six months illness, being very unwell he does not feel he can make another journey.
