On the 17th ourselves and luggage was transferred to the cars for Ogden and Salt Lake City. Passed through much fine country on our way through the States.

New York, September 18th, 1880.

President William Budge.

Dear Brother,--

�

On Wednesday 15th being a little too late in reaching the narrows, where the health officer comes aboard, we anchored a lay there all night, reaching New York shortly after seven o'clock next morning. On Thursday we passed the customs officers with but little trouble, and got the company and baggage safely to Castle Garden. The next evening, at seven o'clock, the company left the depot of the Pennsylvanian Railroad for the Great West. An excellent spirit has been manifest all the way, and the business here at New York was accomplished to Brother [William C.] Staines' entire satisfaction.

Your brethren in the gospel,

John Rider, president.

G. [George] H. Taylor, counselor.

Peter Reid, counselor.

B. S. Young, clerk.
