DEPARTURE FOR ENGLAND.

By John Norton Loughborough

Yesterday, in company with Bro. Haskell, I went to Boston to negotiate for a passage to Great Britain. We visited the office of the Warren line of steamships, found them very kind and obliging and willing to do all they could to help us. While their regular fare to Liverpool is about $75 a passenger, they offer to carry myself and wife for $55 each, and will ticket us to Southampton (via Liverpool, by railroad from Liverpool to Southampton) for $65.50 each. The very steamer, “Minnesota,” on which, one year ago, Bro. Ings and company sailed to England arrives to-day, and is to set sail Monday, Dec. 16. I have made choice of a state room, and have the refusal of it until the day of sailing, even without making a deposit. This is a rare circumstance with any steamship company.
We shall probably sail on that ship, at the above-mentioned date. Our P. O. address, until further notice, is Grove Terrace, Freemantal, Southampton, England, care of Henry Covall. Brethren, pray for us that God may bring us safely to our journey’s end, and make us of service in his cause.
