2nd Our spirits are better cheered this
morning than they possibly could be with
new wine for the wind has not ownly contin-
ued through the night to blow us on our course
10 not an hour on our course but this morning
it seems settelled in the North East And
we have A beautiful fair gale that fills evry
sail & wafts us on our course towards New York
11 or 12 not an hour we are this morning about
400 [miles] of New York we have A beautiful
smooth sea And the ship leaps through her
serface like a race horse if this breeze
continues in two days we will be in New York
May the Lord Grant it I Pray
