le conduit à un etat hypocondarè, qui lue lice òte l'appetit, le sommeil, affaiblit la circulation, dón suivent des secretions vitiés, lentes; des engorements dans tous les couloirs et sourtout dans les reins, qui etaient primitivement malades, il pavait d'affecter chaque jour d'avantage de la durée de sa detention. Il est instant de prevenis l'aing - mentation de ses maux; et il devient efsentiel d'afourer la conservation d'un homme, dont les travaux douient server aux progrès des sciences, et à l'utilité de ses semblables. Je dèclare qu'il a besoin d'aller vivre sur une habilation, avec la liberté de parcouris une certaine etendue, afin qu'il prende tous les jours l'exercise du cheval; il lui faut le choix dún domicile, ou il puisse trouver de la dissipation, un bon aev, et les resources de la societé

J'ai visité aussi Mons. Aken, autre prisonnier &c. &c. &c. 

Au Port N.O. le 29 le Nivose an 13 Laborde.

[Translation of the French]

[leads him to a hypochondria state, which reads the list of appetites, sleep, weakens the circulation, dón follow secretions vitiated, slow; congestion in all the corridors and mostly in the kidneys, which were originally sick, he was pains to affect every day more the length of his detention. It is instantaneous to prevent the ailing of its evils; and it becomes imperative to promote conservation of a man whose labours serve the progress of the sciences, and the utility of his fellows. I declare that he needs to go live on a habitation, with the freedom of travelled a certain extent, so that he should take the exercise of the horse every day; he needs the choice of a home, where he can find dissipation, a good air, and the resources of society.

I also visited Mons. Aken, another prisoner &c. &c. &c.

At Port N.O. 29 the Nivose year 13 Laborde.]
