health and spirits.

My pear Mornuer, — These few lines will be sent 
on shore in a few minutes by the pilot, and will soon 
reach you. We shall be out of sight of land in less 
than two hours more, with a fine breeze. The ship 
has some motion, but I am not at all sick yet. We 
have a fine ship and every prospect of a speedy voy-

again to all. Letters are called for. Good-by; re- 
member me in your prayers. 
our affectionate son, A. Gray.
