Dear Brother,--At the time of writing these lines we are about 700 miles distant from New York. �

Your brother in the gospel,

John Keller.

July 20th.

Yesterday at noon we took a pilot on board. During the last day or two, and nights, we have had very foggy weather. Our steamer stopped several times last night to prevent smaller vessels coming in contact with us. It is now clearing up, and we expect to reach New York tonight or tomorrow morning, early.

21st.

Arrived; all well. We leave here for Utah tomorrow. Brother Staines has left for Salt Lake City.
