In my journal of Mar 14/61
I make this [[strikethrough]] [[illegible]] from [[/strikethrough]][[transfer of the members of the party who rated the G. Henry's Chronometer, to wit: 
In cold weather this Chro (G. H's) will run on Mean Time; or have a small losing rate. 
Now since Sept 12th/60 if the observation of to-day is correct there has been a losing rate of .665 of a second per day (near 2/3ds of a second per day) since Sept 12th/61. to date 30th Mar 199 Days 

[[note, written vertically]] Either error in observations of this day on working them up Not the error I supposed in G.H. Chro Hall May 1861. [[/note]]

The rate given with the Chro by the [[underlined]] ratings [[/underlined]]

Another observation in a day or two
