"EMIGRATION. -- On the 2nd of June a company of 338 left for Utah in Messieurs Guion & Co.'s steamship Minnesota, in care of Elder Elias Morris, late president of the Welsh District. Unforeseen contingencies caused the departure of this company before receiving advices as to arrangements and cost at and beyond New York. Notwithstanding this unexpected circumstance, all were elated with joy, and it is hoped they will be abundantly blest upon their journey. Elder O. C. Holbrook, late traveling elder in the Leeds Conference, released on account of his health, accompanied them; his health was improving, and his numerous friends anticipate its full restoration in the pure mountain air. . . ."
