March 5, 1779:

"In the morning there was a thick fog, such as we have had for several mornings. The sun forced the fog down, and it was  a clear, warm day. The trees are blooming as never before, but the weather has caused many bad colds and several of the Single Brethren have had to go to bed. Not one swallow has been seen as yet."
