Letter of William Bramall - October 27, 1879

Bramall, William, et al., [Letter], Latter-Day Saints' Millennial Star, 41:43 (November 17, 1879), pp. 733-34.

New York, Oct. 27th, 1879.
President William Budge.

Dear Brother,-- �

We took a pilot on board at 2:30 p.m. yesterday, 405 miles out. From which we learn that the vessels which left Liverpool two days previous to our leaving, had not yet passed.

On Sunday evening, at the solicitation of the cabin passengers, the renowned and popular astronomer, Professor Proctor, delivered a very interesting lecture on astronomy,

At the time of writing the weather is clear and beautiful, and all on board are in good health and spirits, and looking forward to our arrival in New York with pleasure, which we hope to enjoy in a few hours.

Jersey City, October 28th, 5 p.m.

Brother W. [William] C. Staines met us on board last evening, but arriving a little late, we were permitted to remain on the vessel overnight. We passed the custom house officers this morning on deck, after which we repaired to Castle Garden. We leave this evening at 6:30, and expect to be in Pittsburgh tomorrow night, from which place we will travel by express to Omaha. All are well.

With kind love to yourself and all in the office, in which Brother Staines joins, we remain your brethren in the gospel,

William Bramall, president.
Joseph Bull, counselor.
Andrew Watson, counselor.
W. [Walter] J. Lewis, clerk.
