ABSTRACT
This chapter presents a letter of the author that specifically considers the narrative of two voyages to the River Sierra Leone. It exposes the influence of a Torrid Sun, near three thousand miles apart from his dearest friends, experiencing, not only, the inevitable hardships of Colonization, but also wallowing in a multiplicity of trouble and confusion, very unnecessarily attached to the infant Colony. Immediately on entering the river they were visited by Captain Wilson, and after the customary civilities, they told us, several Colonial Officers, a few soldiers, and some independent Settlers came passengers with them, who were greatly rejoiced at seeing the Amy; for being all strangers, they were at a loss what to do. Captain Wilson having directed the most eligible spot and then returned to his ship Falconbridge accompanied him to make his obeisance to the Ladies and Gentlemen on board.
