Description
Letter from an unnamed seaman on HMS BELLEROPHON, dated 3rd January 1796. The last page is missing so there is no signature. The letter describes transferring to the FORMIDABLE and a subsequent journey in Spain. A 'lower deck' letter reading like a travel diary, it may have been written up from a journal.
