"DEPARTURE. -- The Guion & Co.'s mail steamer Nevada, Captain Forsyth, sailed on Wednesday, the 26th ultimo, from this port for New York, having on board 396 Saints from Scandinavia, 28 from the British Isles, and 2 from Holland, making a total of 426.
On this ship we have returning to their families and friends in Utah -- Elder George Reynolds, who has been faithfully laboring in the Liverpool Office for a year past; but who is now released because of ill health; Elder John Roberts, who has been laboring in Wales for a year past; Elder Erik Petersen, who has been laboring in the Stockholm Conference the past three years; Elder Jacob H. Jensen, who has been laboring the past three years in Aalborg Conference; Elder Poul Poulsen, who has been a traveling elder in the Aalborg Conference the past year, and Elder Anthon H. Lund, who has been laboring the past year in Copenhagen Conference, principally in the Skandinavien Stjerne Office.
These elders return to their homes with our heartfelt blessing, and our earnest prayer is, that they, with the Saints who accompany them, may have a safe, speedy and pleasant journey, arrive safely in Zion, and be found worthy to partake of the blessings there in store for the faithful."
