This would place us ^[["Rescue Harbor"]] 1[[degree symbol]] - 15[[feet symbol]] West of the Long. made by G. Henry's Chro. last Fall, on our making anchorage here - that is [[strikethrough]] of [[/strikethrough]] ^[[only]] [[underlined]] thirty four & one fourth [[/underlined]] (3 [[?]] 1/4) [[underlined]] Nautical [[/underlined]] miles ^[[at this Latitude]] [[strikethrough]] [[?]] [[?]] of Rescue Harbor. [[/strikethrough]] F[[?]] observations that I expect to make, will truly determine this matter of our Long. The "Lunars" that I am yet to take & mark up will approximate to the true Longitude. I must determine [[underlined]] one Meridian, then from it I can determine all others hereabouts.
