The company of five Elders arrived at Auckland December 15th in fair health and spirits. The company of eight reached Sydney, Australia, on the 5th inst. Three were assigned to labor in Queensland.

The blanks, which you sent, were amongst the rest, their appearance being mat- erially affected, but will still answer the purpose for which they are intended, and I will endeavor to carry out the instructions when Elders are released to return home. We are also in receipt of Bro. Reynolds'
