Sir

A sail this minute discovered supposed to be a fishing boat gives us a hope to inform you that we are in Lat. 43.5 ⟨N.⟩ Londe. 53. ⟨   ⟩5 ⟨W.⟩ all in good health. We are nine days from Cape Henry have had very light winds thus far without the exception of a day, tho we have had a good wind this morning, which we hope will continue.
