Mr Forth has received ... certificates which the Honorable ... from his former Medical Attendants testify to the repeated attacks of Diarrhea from which he has suffered in this Colony.
Since my arrival last April I have been in almost constant attendance on him for the same complaint accompanied by congestion of the liver.
During my temporary absence in July an attack of fever ... was attended by Dr Kane for which left him in such a weak state, that I recommended his immediate proceeding to Japan to recruit, advice which he did not follow.
I have ... no hesitation in saying that he ought not to remain in the Colony another Summer without a previous return to Europe. Neglect of this recommendation may entail fatal Consequences.
