Dear George Teasdale:

Dear Brother-

According to promise we drop you a line giving a synopsis of our journey. …

… We were all able to pass quarantine on the 27th, at 6:30 p.m. After which the customs officers came on board and took statements as to our having any dutiable goods, our destination, etc. Landed at Guion Dock at 7:30 p.m.

We were met by Brother James E. Hart, and others at 9 p.m.; and on the morning of the 28th our company's luggage was examined by the officers and, at 12 noon, we left for Castle Garden, where all passed.

At 3:30 p.m., we started per S. S. "Roanoke," Old Dominion Line, for Norfolk, and have thus far been kindly treated by all.
