Mr. Williams to Mr. Rockhill.
Accompanied by Dr. Burgess, I passed an hour yesterday at the fort with Sanguily, finding him cheerful and very content with his treatment and not wishing to change quarters, and desiring his friends to be informed that, while longing for his freedom, he entertains no apprehension for his personal safety. Dr. Burgess reports to me officially that from examination of his circulation, temperature, and tongue, as also from his own statements, that his physical condition and health are good, with exception of some rheumatism, seemed to be of the muscular variety.
