On the 30th of August
1780, still very ill in Jamaica, Nelson wrote to Vice-Admiral Peter
Parker, who was commander-in-chief there:
"Having been in a very bad
state of health for these several months past, so bad as to be
unable to attend my duty on board the Janus, and the faculty having
informed me that I cannot recover in this climate, I am therefore to
request that you will be pleased to permit me to go to England for
the re-establishment of my health."
Nicolas, Vol I
