Thomas Crawford's Diary, 1825
“Capt. Crear has put up a card”
Entry for 02/09/1825
Friday 2d. The wind not so strong as for some days, but very cold, Lat. 41.32. Lon: 45.58. For some days past Capt. Crear has put up a card showing the Latitude & Longitude, which enabled me to write the Longitude & Latitude, but formerly it merely was by chance that I heard what the Latitude & Longitude was.
