An emotional letter regarding family matters in which Buckley informs his correspondent, in part, 'I am scarcely in a fit state for writing, so much has my dear brother's death affected me. My dear Papa died when I was too young to feel his loss and this is the first time that I have experienced real sorrow… Thankful I am to recall his goodness and gentleness of heart and spirit, to think that that religion which I knew he possessed in life gives me now the assurance that he has joined my dear Papa… I will tell you what I know of the mournful particulars… he fell into a state of alternate delirium… with few lucid intervals… when the fearful black vomit began to show themselves. He lingered until the following morn and then God took him to himself. The news reached us at Montevideo on the 1st of this month and it has indeed made me miserable since. He was buried the same evening… in the English burying called the Gamboa… He has very few trinkets or I would send you one. His watch I cannot part with… and I believe a dish & pencil case were all be possessed beside… God keep you well and let me not hear any more bad news at present.' Buckley concludes his letter with a postscript which reads, in part, 'In the Cormorant we have lost three Midshipmen & eight seamen, one before I joined the last since. I myself had the fever in the Crescent but thank God recovered. We are now healthy on board and the yellow fever is subsiding out here.'
