Arrival of the Benjamin Adams at New Orleans. By letter from Elder H. P. Olsen, dated New Orleans, March 25, we learn that the Benjamin Adams, with the second company of Danish and German Saints, arrived at New Orleans, March 22, after a prosperous voyage of forty-five days from Liverpool. The company generally were in good health, and felt well. Eight deaths--two of adults and six of children, nine marriages and two births, occurred during the voyage. Elder Brown, at New Orleans, was rendering the company every assistance in his power. They expected to leave New Orleans for St. Louis, the day Elder Olsen wrote. Elder Curtis and company left New Orleans, March 21, all well and in good spirits. [p.272]
