S. S. Wisconsin, June 12, 1888President George Teasdale:

Dear Brother,--This morning at 4 a.m., the pilot came on board at a distance of about 400 miles from New York.

The day we left Queenstown, and the day following, the vessel rolled considerably, causing much sickness, but it did not last long. Take it all through, we have had a fine voyage and been much blessed of the Lord, [p.429] who has heard and answered our prayers and blessed us in our administrations. We have great reason to rejoice and feel thankful to our Heavenly Father for all his goodness.

The captain, purser and officers have been exceedingly kind to us and considerate to the sick. We held several meetings with the Saints, enjoying the good influence of the Spirit of God. When we passed the doctor we had to show certificates of vaccination. Some had none to show, so they had to be vaccinated on board.

New York, June 13th.

We have passed through the Custom House and Castle Garden. Mr. Gibson was very kind, giving us all the information needed. We are very grateful and everything is satisfactory. We are made comfortable on the "Old Dominion" steamer, and are favored with fine weather. We all join in kind regards to all at "42." [42 Islington IS THE ADDRESS OF THE BRITISH MISSION IN LIVERPOOL]

Your brother and friend in the gospel of Peace,

C. R. Dorius. [p.430]
