�

The pilot came on board 400 miles from Sandy Hook, and we can here feel the warm American weather. A concert was held on board for the benefit of aged seamen. We arrived in quarantine at 8 p.m. on Sept. 8th, and the next morning the doctor came on board and the passengers landed at Castle Garden. Cabin passengers were landed at the Company's dock, where we passed the usual examination, and expect to leave at 7 p.m.

All send their kind love. Respectfully,

F. [Francis] Greenwell.
