My dear George

I am happy to inform you of my safe arrival here about sixteen days ago after being at sea exactly 8 weeks. From the time we left the Downs having been detained there for a few days. I as usual had a severe attack of sea sickness which continued for nearly 10 days but after that I quite recovered and enjoyed good health during the rest of the voyage; We have had very fairweather that is to say very fine weather all the time with the exception of about 8 days we were then rocking about in the Bay of Biscay. One of the most dangerous bays in the Atlantic Ocean and during all that time it blew a complete hurricane. So much so that I really thought the ship would have gone down every minute but thank God we at last weathered the storm after a great deal of anxiety and perseverance on our own part and on the ninth day the sea in comparison to the former was a complete calm and during the rest of the voyage the weather continued the finest I ever saw.

Anyone related to him?
