223 Wednesday, Nov 12th.- Strong head wind, & sea, again today,, donot make but little headway -- however everything safe so far, fine rain during the day - /it appears from my journal, that this is the day the 12th, the meeting was called, and we putaway for Charleston unclear -- altho talked over yesterday, and finally concluded to wait till today, and see if the wind & weather would not be more favorable, and as we should be nearer Charleston too by today, should nothing happen unclear This mistake was in copying from my journal Thursday Nov 13th,- Wind has died away some this morning, but still, a heavy sea on, wind changed some on the am, and the sun came out, has the appearance of clearing up, and we have a fair wind this Pm, so the Capt has had all yards & spars, run up, and all sail set this Pm and the passengers are rejoicing in this change, and hope it may continue the rest of the voyage, or till we arrive at Charleston, where many, no doubt, will leave the vessel, I intend to, for one, /should we arrive there safe,/ and go on from there, by land, to N Y, many others will do the same, I am told while all, for the Southern States, will of course stop at Charleston- and were very anxious we should put in there.--
