Begun on the "Caesar" at sea en route to St. Helena, the final four pages written on the island. From St. Helena he writes "We are lodged with Sir Hudson and Lady Lowe .... he has spoken to me most confidentially respecting his important charge. I am in expectation of a visit from Count Bertrand and am told it is probable he will be the bearer of a message from Bonaparte appointing a time for my seeing him. He is suffering with a swelled face which I am informed is the only reason why he has not yet fixed an interview. I have rode all about Longwood, his residence and seen the bounds presented to him, it being Sir Hudson wish, since the debate upon that subject in the House of Lords, that I should be made acquainted with his exact situation. We are grossly deceived in England by the publication of Montholons letter, and by the exaggerated, I might say unfounded, reports of the treatment experienced by our prisoner".

It is the opinion of many here that he will be allowed to go to England in eight or ten years. He appears to be in bad health on account his being troubled with swelled legs, his limits are enlarged that he may have more exercise .....
