Sunday October 4th

Hot Winds from the NE & ENE from 10 OClock in the Morning until Evening then light and Variable. My health very bad with a severe Head Ach. I took two gentle papers of Jollap [jalap] as Yesterday and used the Tepid bath twice in the Day.

I ordered that such Officers as choosed it might come and live at the Hotel and that I should proceed to sell the Vessel without delay if my health would permit. That as Yet I could determine nothing about the Seamen. The Carpenter I continued to arrest & applyed to have him as soon as possible sent on board of Ship where I thought his health would be safe.
