Scope and Contents

At the request of Father Nicolas Fort Morisse informs Blanc that Fort arrived in Havre October 23 but in such a deplorable state that he could not notify Blanc himself. Today there is some hope of his recovery. If anyone Blanc knows is returning to France Morisse must give warning that it would be well not to come on the Rockingham for it is impossible to suffer more than Fort did on board that ship. Not only was he ill treated but several times was on the point of being thrown overboard by the First Mate. The captain remained entirely indifferent to the affairs of his boat. :: V-5-b A.L.S.
