P.O. Newtown, Sydney, N. S. W. Aus.
Feb 10^th 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 6^th 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.
