Day 103 – February 2, 1820

February 2, 1820 – This morning finds us rejoicing in prosperity.  A fair wind from the South West sets our faces directly toward the scene of our anticipated labors.  We are now 10° or 12° west of Cape Horn, and feel much as if we were on our way home.  Capt. B. says again we could not ask for a better wind.  Mercury this evening at sunsetting is 44°, that is 12° above feezing point at the close of a long summer day. (Thaddeus Journal)

Feb. 2nd. We are 25 deg. S. Lat. and 75 W. Long. The air this morning is clear and cold Nights now are short. I am told that in the 60th deg. in the month of Dec. when the days are the longest, the sun rises a quarter before 3, and sets a quarter after 9. Daylight continues all night. Probably we shall never be at a greater distance from you, than at the present time. I think I can in some measure realize what must be your feelings in this inclement season. #. are experiencing the blasts of a northern region, we, of a southern. You enjoy the privileges of home, with innumerable comforts, we are favoured with mercies at sea. And though we feel ourselves “pilgrims and wanderers who have here no abiding place or continuing city,” and far separated from most of our dear friends, we are happy in the society of each other. We feel the cords of love binding our hearts together and uniting them as the heart of one man. Few in our native land can look around on a more interesting and happy family than we daily behold.  The society also of one dear and affectionate friend, greatly increases my happiness.  I have reason to praise God who has made us acquainted with each other, and united us in so endearing a connexion.  He is worthy of my sincere and lasting attachment.  It shall be my constant study to make his life pleasant and useful.  And should I be a means of lightning his care is or contributing and any measure too is happiness, I shall be doubly compensated.  (Mercy Partridge Whitney Journal)

Feb. 2d. 100 [103] days out, lat. 58° 25′ South, long. in 75° West (James Hunnewell)
