Wallis’ Channel, of Portsmouth. Our Lighter was soon along side, and by 12 our freight was all on board. Considerable time would be necessary to lash our freight on deck, and Capt. Jones thought it would be best not to go to sea till tomorrow morning. We have now a fair wind. Should this continue we shall probably be in N. York in a short time. Wrote to day to Br. Outten, hoping that there would be an opportunity to send it from this place. Sat. June 23 This morning we fully intended to have gone to sea, but during the night the wind changed and is now (nearly 8 A.M.) directly ahead - - 7 oclock P.M. The wind has continued all day as it was in the morning. Perhaps we shall be detained here several days. I know I should feel perfectly resigned; but it is one thing to have a conviction of what is right, and another to do it. - - - This day has been a long one to me! How often I think of my little family, and other friends in that region! May the Lord bless them all! Let my dear daughter live to praise thee O! Lord!
