We arrived in New York safely September 23, 1878. The engine never stopped night or day until we arrived from the time we left.

We stayed in Castle Gardens overnight. I am sorry to say some of our Glasgow kids tried to steal some of the provisions at the bar. I changed a sovereign there. They just charged sixpence for changing it. We had no trouble with our luggage. We were all examined by the doctor on deck and passed without trouble. �

S. S. Wyoming, Sept. 24, 1878.President William Budge.

Dear Brother,--As we are now reaching the borders of Zion, I feel it a pleasure to drop you a line, by way of reporting progress, regretting only that in my hurry I forgot paper, and that ink is a very rare thing among the [p.653] Saints; and I am using my bunk for a writing place. �

The 25th; arrived today all well. God bless you all, and give you peace and wisdom and success in all your labors.

Yours truly,

H. [Henry] W. Naisbitt.
