Dear Sir,
434, Kingstong
20 Nov 1844
Since I had the honor of addressing you in July, I have been severely afflicted with Fever & Dysentery, to the point of death. It has pleased Divine Providence to spare my life, & returned to Hong Kong from the Malabar coast in the beginning of Sept - with my health somewhat improved, but still very debilitated & I fear my Constitution much impaired - at least for a continued residence in a tropical climate.
