S. S. Wyoming, off Queenstown, April 17, 1881.President Albert Carrington.

Dear Brother,--After leaving Liverpool at 11:30, Saturday morning, the welfare of the Saints and their general comfort and happiness, were looked after. The Saints have been divided into two wards, with faithful and diligent elders appointed to see after their well-being. Brother W. W. Jackson has been sustained as chaplain, and Brother James Lowe as captain of the guard. Elder Oscar F. Hunter is assisting President David C. Dunbar in his position, and all things are working together for the good of the people. At the instance of President Dunbar, a meeting was held on Saturday evening, to counsel and advise the Saints in the manner of their conduct and procedure during the journey. Valuable instruction was given by President Dunbar; and Elders Hunter and Jackson, and the Spirit of the Lord rested upon the people. The Saints meet for prayers at 7 a.m. and 8 p.m., and are striving to be happy and comfortable. We are sailing along very nicely, with no sickness up to the present. We expect to reach Queenstown at 5 a.m.

Praying the choicest blessings to rest upon you and all his scattered people, that they may be speedily gathered, we remain

Your brethren in the gospel,

David C. Dunbar, president,James H. Wallis, clerk. [p.368]
