S. S. Wisconsin off Sandy Hook, near New York, July 1, 1885.President D. H. Wells.

Dear Brother,--We arrived this morning at the above named point all well, and without a mishap of any kind. The Saints are all feeling finely. We have had considerable wind and fog to contend with, and it has been very cold considering the season of the year. We have received the best of treatment from the captain and crew.

Your brethren,
