Elder John A. Sutton, who left here on Saturday, 14th instant, in charge of a party of Saints from Iceland, writes from Queenstown, July 15th, as follows:

"We arrived here at 9:35 this (Sunday) morning, all well, no seasickness. With the assistance of the interpreter, I effected an organization of the Icelanders, and appointed Elder Thorarinn Bjarnason to take charge, and have morning and evening prayer at 7 a.m. and 8 p.m. They appear to be very good people. I am studying Icelandic, with the assistance of a Danish and Icelandic Grammar. I hope to get along all right - kind regards to all in the office". [p.479]
