Saturday 9 April 1836

In the morning employd variously gitting
ready for sea the wind baffling from the NW
and NE^d I went on shore received letters which
informed me my wife and little ones where well
so either too hath helped us the weather and
wind not being settled did not get under weigh
had prayers in the cabin in the everning
with reading the word of God with comment
taked with the people about salvation M^rs Morgans
sister died last sunday which says be ye allso
ready for such an hour yee know not the son
of man cometh – be yee allso ready
