About this item
- Content
This letter concerns the treatment received by those travelling on board the Eliza country ship, commanded by Mr Woodhead.

Bruce acknowledges the senior magistrate's verdict that Mr Woodhead's conduct was proper and correct. He goes on to recount the results of enquiries made by Captain Francis Erskine Loch regarding the treatment received on board the Eliza , which were made prior to the aforementioned investigation into Mr Woodhead's conduct.
