Elder H. [Henry] E. Phelps writes, dated South of Ireland, 180 miles from Liverpool, Dec. 10--"As we have cleared the Irish Channel, and the pilot is about to return to Liverpool, I take the opportunity of informing you of our condition, &c. Our prospects at present are good, very little sickness, fair weather, with a good spirit universally throughout the ship. There was a birth yesterday, in the morning, of a fine boy. Brothers [John] Parson and Crossley have been sick all the time, but are getting well." [p.10]
