Summary

Number of births this year, seven. Marriages two, Deaths none. Number of inhabitants 127. Males 65. Females 62. There have been much sickness during the past year. At present the Island is in a healthy, state. Twenty five ships have touched here.
Twenty-two American, two French, and one Dutch vessel, have visited us this year.

We are most anxious to see a ship; a rumour of war reached us some two months since and we want to ascertain the truth of it. Hoping it may be an unfounded report: we humbly beseech Almighty God to watch over our "Fatherland" and whether enjoying peace or engaged in war, it may never succumb to insult nor advocate oppression.

Number of children attending the public school 51.

The community are buisily employed preparing wood for enlarging the church.
