25.
and
Saml Edgerton Captains Steward have all
died. [T]hree or
four more are still ill, and I regret to state that
among
them is Lieut D.H. Crisp, who I very much fear will
not
recover. The Purser, Mr Hurd, has been very ill,
but is now
recovering. I have also had a violent attack myself,
which
has prevented my dispatching the San-Bernard several
days.
In consequence of my sickness, and my anxiety
to get the San-Bernard off I have omitted some things
which I will report to the Department on my arrival
off Galveston.
The Department will perhaps find some mistakes
in the copies of the numerous letters, which I have
not
been able to examine.
I
am Very Respectfully etc.

Capt
Comor T Navy
PS.
The first Cutter of this Ship returned from
the
Arcas last night and Lieut O’Shannessy reports
the
Schooner a total wreck, having gone to peices[sic]
[.] [H]e also
reports many of her timbers much decayed.
