Question - Did Mr. Lye since his Confinement report to you hi[s] being unwell from the closeness of his Confinement the small size of his Cabin, the heat of the Climate and the unpleasant smell of the next Cabin owing to a woman and a family of Children being there by letter?

Answer - He did.  I visited him immediately in consequence of it and seeing his Cabin door shut and window leading into the Gun Room being shut I could not think he could suffer from a close confinement, and there appeared no Symptoms of ill health.
