          These are to Certify that Stephen Goldsmith
          last Autumn was attacked with an Intermittent
          Fever which continued three months and then
          left him; since which he has laboured under
          an irregular Chronic Complaint, being of opinion
          that a Change of Climate may do him service
          I have recommended him a Voyage to a
          warmer atmosphere.
          William Allmon
          Surgeon to the
          Royal Artillery
Halifax March 1st 1783
