John Caesar Cape Town 1787

13 October 1787

Today we are in Cape Town. Other convicts are armed with pistols,knives and iron bars Dutch Governor is not happy to see us. We are vomiting every where and the Governor will only allow us to have three days bread . We are traveling through a lot of fog the fog is making the journey much harder. Today we are about to leave but with stock and grains but we do not have enough hay to fead our animals on board we do not know how long the animals will survive we do not know what to do when that happens. Some convicts have very bad sicknesses like scurvy.More women are geting there Barnet fair shaved.we have had a few deaths from Tenirreife and bigger storms are coming each day we get closer and closer to Botany Bay in New Holland.
