Letter from Andrew Smith Jr., 10 February 1898

First Presidency. of the Church of Jesus Christ, of Latter-day Saints. Beloved Brethren: I write you a few lines that you may learn of the safe arrival of Elders Frederick E. Barker and Charles D. Fox, on the 6th inst. When they came to Sydney. On account of the missunderstanding of the arrival of the S. S. Miawerra, they had no one to meet them either by person or letter. aAlthough I received no word of their coming still I was impressed there might be some one or more. Elder Barker did not realize any effect of sea sickness, but elder Fox was very bad at times and gave elder Barker to understand that if the rough weather continued much longer he was afraid he could not stand it but he looks all ightalright, and although he was so bad, we had a hearty laugh after it was all over and the pittiful story was related to us. There does not seem to be much sympathy extended to sea sick persons, as very few die, but the reverse they seem to get so that many, at least, are better able to enjoy their meals than before the ordeal they are called to pass t[h]rough.
