My dearest Catherine,

I hope this letter finds you well. However as I am still in the indies, in a state of great danger and word from you has yet to reach me. I know not if my missives prior the last found you in good health, nor indeed any of the letters I have dispatched since our arrival here. Therefore you must allow me to express my most fervent hopes that you are quite well and in tolerable spirits.

My Dearest Catherine,

I suspect that at the close of my last missive you were all shocked astonishment at the revelation of the voice. Confess I was quite overwhelmed by those very emotions, and had I been misfortunate enough to suffer at the hands of a constitution as frail yours I should indubitably have swooned; as it was I did not.

September the 3rd, the year of our lord 1803.

We ‘wayed anchor these four hours since and have left that isle and it’s shallows behind us. We were, one and all, monstrous glad to flee that place, which for all it’s exoticism and paradisiacal splendour had the air of the cell where one awaits the gallows. There is little so disagreeable to able sailors than being trapped upon distant shores.

I believe that Messrs Smith and Burns had set our new course, one which would deliver us to our fellow frigates so that we might rejoin the Navy’s endeavours to defeat that rapscallion, Napoleon. We were sailing now with considerable speed as the winds were in our favour and seemed quite set upon hastening our advance.
