Letter from D. [David] K. Udall - June 24, 1877

Udall, D. K. [Letter], Latter-day Saints Millennial Star 39:30 (July 23, 1877) pp. 476-77.

New York, June 24, 1877.President Joseph F. Smith.

Dear Brother,�After a somewhat boisterous voyage for this season of the year, we arrived in New York at 2 p.m. yesterday, as well as could be expected after the severe seasickness some had to endure, otherwise all is well. We had no difficulty in passing the doctor, nor did we suffer any inconvenience with the custom house officers.

Brother [William C.] Staines is as prompt as ever, and was on hand to assist at proper times and season. We leave New York tomorrow at 5 p.m.

�

Eliza Hill and daughter will remain in New York for a time, as the expected money is not to hand for their railway fares; all the rest will go through with the company, as the looked for money has been received by Brother [William C.] Staines. We shall also have one returning missionary from this vicinity, and one or two emigrants who will accompany us to the great American Desert, that we have made and love to cherish as our home.

Kind love to all at "42." Yours in the gospel covenant,

D. [David] K. Udall, President.
