December 29th. The carriage which my excellent 
friend Governor Cubillas had secured for me, was at 
my door in good season this morning. It was a small 
Scotch built vehicle, of an antiquated form, with two 
wheels, and very comfortable. Taking leave, there- 
fore, of my kind and attentive physician, Dr. Camp- 
bell, and his amiable wife and family, to all of whom I 
shall ever feel grateful, I was helped into my chaise 
and bade adieu to Ures, where I had been confined 
eighty days. I still felt very weak; but my appetite 
was good, and I hoped the exercise of riding would 
be beneficial.
