fell to roasting stewing, Boiling & eating her
the cow was sick & her carcase vary lean
we have been runing about 8 not an hour thro-
ugh the day & 10 not through the nighhtt on
our course I had the best nights rest I have
had on board the ship I dreamed of seeing Br
Young & other friends we had a warm
short cake for supper one third boiled
potatoes & two thirds flour but it was
nice

March 2, 1846 ~ Monday

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

[FIGURE] I this day wrote three
Letters one to John Neff
And sent him $10 for a
Note of hand he held against me this I
forwarded by Major Joseph A Stratton
And one to Phebe W Woodruff & one
to Reuben Hedlock of Liverpool we
continued to have fair stern Breeze or gale
we run 10 or 11 not an hour through the night
under closs reef top sails but it was an
exeeding rough night
