Tuesday May 29th.

Poi[n]t Obsn. No. 2. On a small Island opposite to the mouth of the
Gasconade made the following obsertns.

Equal Alds. of ☉ with Sextant.[2]

Note.—The ☉ was so much obscured during the A.M. observation,
that I cannot be positive as to it's accuracy, nor could I obtain the
A. M. obstn. at an earlyer hour from the same cause.

Latitude of place of observation . . N. 38°. 44′ .35″ .3.
