Abstract:
Letter written partially in rhyming poem and partially in plain text. Poem comments on Chapman's health, the area, and great number of doctors in the region. "The Doctors here are thicker than fleas, / Which flutter round as in a summer's breese / And waging war against all human kind / They're locust like devouring all they find…" Mentions medical cases he has worked on since his arrival, but still prefers New England. "I think it probable that I shall yet look for an establishment in N.E. certainly shall unless I feel more at home in this Indian-Dutch world than I do now." References canals and number of villages around them.
