in a fever but convalescent, His disease much increased by anxiety
of mind and dejection ; Has a wife just reddy to lie in, and one Child
John Palmer< no role > Taken ill Yesterday, and worse to day with
every Symptom of increasing Fever: from the apparent delicacy of his
constitution it is probable that should his disease, by being worse tomorrow
occasion his being removed to the sick Ward, it would go very hard with
him

sick list, has Symptons of Fever and ever since he came into the prison
has had a very painful Ulcer on his Leg.

of and his Recovery very unexpected, continues very weak, and appears to
be destitute of money and friends

prisoners mentioned therein is strictly true. The other circumstances
we believe to be true as far as Information or our own observation can
enable us to ascerain them
