With the ship running at the rate of 8 1/2 miles an hour with about half her sails [set], I sit down to pen a few of the incidents of the last 7 or 8 days. My own health together with the rocking of the vessel since we started have prevented me from doing so hitherto--Will the Lord guide my pen while I attempt to record his dealings towards me § mine during the past week that in days to come I may review them with thanksgiving-A week ago to day the Missionaries met on board the vessel expecting to sail about 11 o 'clock--Great numbers visited the ship § about 9 1/2 o'clock a hymn was read § a prayer offered by Rev. Dr. Jenks. As there was no wind of consequence § what there was, was a head our starting was defered until the following day. During the service, a Mr. James Cook of Headley an acquaintance of J's was on board, 5 immediately after left for home carrying some letters for J. to her friends. J's Uncle Caldwell was also on board 5 called that evening to see us at Mr. Coburn--a few other friends were present. We spent most of the day on board adjusting our State room Ejc. Just before supper returned to Mr. Coburn's § spent the night but did no visiting, or any thing else. The next morning I closed my letter to Sister M. § gave it to Mr. Hill on board the vessel — Closed also a letter to bro. Charles W.

The pilot left us about 11 1/2 o'clock carrying several letters from our companions back to their friends-- The wind blew from South-west carrying us from the land of our nativity at about 5 or 6 miles per hour. Many were on shore who saluted us with many cheers--Our company all left smiling § to many of them it was a happy moment. There was nothing peculiar in my own feelings for the idea of sep­ aration had passed through my own mind many times. I will not now wait to descend to particulars. Soon after leaving the shore Dr. Lafon assembled us together and admonished us to prepare for Sea-Sickness as it would soon overtake us. In a few minutes several of our com­ pany were vomiting, the sea growing considerably heavy. retired to her room § soon vomited became very sick. J.
