“This is our present Situation,! truly disagreeable. About 12 oClock the wind Shifted about to the NW and blew with great violence for the remainder of the day at maney times it blew for 15 or 20 minits with Such violence that I expected every moment to See trees taken up by the roots. Many were blown down. Those Squals were Suckceeded by rain, !O how Tremendious is the day. This dredfull wind and rain Continued with intervales of fair weather all the latter part of the night. O! How disagreeable is our Situation dureing this dreadfull weather.”
