20th The North west gale still continues though
not as strong As through the night they now
carry closs reef main & fore top sails I am quite
unwell today having no sleep for two nights in
consequence of the rough weather & tumbling
of the ship I shall know how to prize the
privilege of on[c]e more setting my feet on land
when I can get the chance of enjoying it
we made a good dinner of Apple Dumpling to
day made By Elder Stratton. the wind died
away towards evening And they were
enabled to carry sail again but we were
running far south of New York
