The shipment of medicines has been completed, and I expect to have the pleasure of transmitting them by the following mail.
Complaints regarding the treatment on the "Daypspring" were made by the emigrants themselves, attributing their sufferings to the inhumanity of the Master, who kept them imprisoned below deck without adequate means of preserving cleanliness necessary for health.
The emigrants stated that the lack of exercise, heat, and filth generated a fatal disease. I obtained this information directly from the emigrants, as their recounting of scenes within their actual observations is generally truthful.
I summoned Mohang, the charterer of the "Daypspring," and inquired if any of his acquaintances on board had made a complaint to him. He handed me a letter, which I enclose in its original form, accompanied by a translation.
The letter, written by four passengers, describes their treatment and sufferings, attributing them directly and indirectly to the "worthlessness" of the Master. They also mentioned the Master's neglect to take provisions from the cargo or procure supplies when required.
