- Summary:
- James Whitworth to his wife, HMS Portia, North Yarmouth, 6th June 1812. This is the third letter that he has written from this place, but still he has received no reply. Stresses that the only joy that he receives is through the letters that he receives from her. He cannot continue with this life, he grows weaker every day. The ship is unmoored, they expect to sail any day, for Heligoland, not the Baltic, returning to Sheerness Dock in October. Four men stole the jolly boat the night before last to escape he wishes he had gone with them.
