17/38 I don't remember much about the next few days. Since then I have been mending rapidly. None of the wounds were very serious, and it was more loss of blood, than anything else, that ailed me. Mr.Ramsay searched high and low for you, and we had all given you up for dead, till a few hours before this man arrived with your letter. I had a long talk with your messenger, who received a handsome present from Mr.Ramsay, and he agreed to conduct me here, upon my solemn promise that, if the captain would not receive me, I would not give any information, on my return, as to the whereabouts of the band. |
