Paymaster E. F. Hall reports updates on the U.S. emergency response in Jamaica following the earthquakes. Famine is kept mostly at bay, though certain provisions are difficult to obtain. He notices that there are still many injured people who have not received medical care. With the help of local priests, they assist some injured people in receiving that care. The British troops, however, are not being as helpful as they could be.
