Extent1 doc.
Date1806
DescriptionHe is worried at still being in the Colony but there seems to be no preparation for their leaving. Meantime the climate steadily impairs their health. There are feasts and balls when the ships bring supplies, soon followed by starvation.
Access ConditionsFor preservation reasons, microfilm or digital copies are made available in place of the original documents.
Access StatusOpen, but subject to some access restrictions
Physical DescriptionThe numbers throughout this are archivist's numbers as it was impossible to distinguish the original series. The numbers in square brackets are standing original numbers but there are clearly many omissions and other problems. E1/1-3 were taken from the series G/AC3 and bear original numbers for that series. It is also of interest that the copies of letters from the Secretary bear crossed-out page numbers.
