Mr. Howard again
My second Visit was the 26th of January 1778 –
I went first to the Warren where I staid about One Hour
& an half making Observations on the Works, afterwards
I went on Board the Justitia & the Censor & many of
the Convicts told me they were better used than when
I saw them last & it was very evident by their Looks –
I asked if they had any Medical Assistance & they told
me they had an Apothecary every other day – there were
125 on Board the Censor in January – I staid some
time in the Hospitals – 13 were sick in the Justitia
