I have the honor to inform

that I have made a second visit to

"1

the ship Emigrant, and

I regret to

find that the disease to which I made allusion in a former letter continues to spread amongst the Coolie passengers ;

and

that the invectigation into their

health, made with the view

of isolating those who appeared to have been tainted with infection, has led to the discovery of physical and morbid defects in others which, in my opinion, render thend unfit for the purposes of emigration .

I would, therefore, take the liberty of suggesting to This Excellency the Acting,

The Honble.,

Lieut+ Coll. baine,

Colonial Secretary.
