August 14,1891,
We have just left port about a day ago. We were crammed into a small room along with 17 people. The wallsand floor are dirty and the kid next to me has thrown up several time already. This is making me sick, how can anybody stand these conditions are beyond me. I can't really write too much now, it's too hard to not throw up onto this and avoid the pools of vomit at the same time.
