Read  Feb.  26,  QoME  days  ago  I received  the  inclofed 
^ Journal  of  the  weather,  kept  by  Mr. 
barr,  for  a few  of  the  winter  months,  at  Montreal,  with 
a defire  to  put  it  into  your  hands.  I underftand  that  the 
winter  was  thought  particularly  mild.  The  thermometer 
was  Fahrenheit’s  graduated  50  degrees  below  o.  l ob- 
ferve  that  the  wind  never  blew  from  the  north ; nor  do  I 
know  that  it  ever  blew  from  that  quarter  while  I was  in 
America. 
I have  the  honour  to  be,  See.
