A fine morn with a cool breeze
From the NW fresh winds
We have had a fine passage
So far. the men all
anxious
To see ship island. i

A light touch of rheumatism
For the last few days the ship
Is agoing first rate we expect
To have a sight of S island by
Morning. this is a
good day for
Washing & airing clothes
