MARCH 22.( Sunday.)
I was very glad to find myself once more quietly established
at Cornwall, fully determined to leave it no more till I leave it
on my return to England. The lady who had died so lately at
Kingston had arrived not long before in a vessel, both the crew
and passengers of which landed, to all appearance, in perfect
health, after a favourable passage from England. Of course,
they soon dispersed in different directions ; yet almost all of them
were attacked nearly at the same period by the fever, which
seemed to have a particular commission to search out the persons
that had arrived by that particular ship.
