Letter from Roger Casement, Consulate General of Great Britain and Ireland, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, to his cousin "Gee" [Gertrude Bannister],
1909 April 28.
Casement writes about his time in Rio de Janeiro: "I rather like Rio altho' I find it shockingly expensive. I'll send you some of my bills as objects lessons in despair - if you saw what they stood for in the way of foods supplied, you'd scream with rage". He asks her not to send him any more copies of the 'Morning Post' as he is "growing so anti-English. I cannot stand it!". He also writes about his health: "I feel better - altho' I had a real wild attack of Congo fever on landing".
