We are sending the
civil men back today
and by arrangement will
the Doctor go on
paying two more days
for the time they have
stayed here. Weather
and sea are good now.
May 7th
No ship yet. It is advised
for me to go to Godhope after
motor boat goes from here
about the 15th of this month.
The Inspector lives there and
may admit my going on a
frigate & get by steamer
to Philadelphia. The Danish
men here suppose their
country to be in the war.
