He expresses, begrudgingly, that he will visit the house of Lords while he is on leave, just to please Addington. He describes the departure of Captains Conn, Rowley, Martin and Whitter to Nore, and how his own journey might transpire given the weather conditions. He mentions his own illness, and the illness of Dr Baird.
