Elizabeth Hayward-Rio de Janeiro-1787

5th  August, 1787




ello its me again . we have arrived in Rio de Janeiro. I cant wait till we get the fresh fruits and  vegetables .Me and me mate are so hungry . I wish us convicts could get out of this ship it stinks down in the hulk . We're gonna be here for a month but it will seem like a year if you cant get out of the ship. I hate the clothes we have to  wear they're hot and itchy and what makes it worse is that its boilin hot. We have'nt even got on deck to have some exercise. I suppose we probably wont even get up  there into the fresh  air.







                                          Any way I better go now by
