[Diary entry: 29 January 1785]

Saturday 29th. Mercury at 42 in the Morning and the same at Noon & Night.

Raining until about 10 Oclock when it ceased. About 12 the Sun appeared and the day became exceedingly pleasant afterwards.

The Wind, until some time after noon came from the Southward but not very fresh. Towards the evening it inclined to the westward more—blew fresh & grew cold.
