Dear Friends,
I have endeavored to fulfill your request by sending you your brothers certificate
signed by his master that he worked with, signed by the Dr of the Hospital of New York
which I suppose will be sufficient. We arrived here the 18th of September after a very
tedious passage off 5 weeks. We had contrary winds for 3 weeks and very stormy for
some days. We were all off us very sea sick and after we got a little better off _____
____ we were attacked with Bowel complaints which continued for near 3 weeks. We are
all pretty well now and all of us very glad before we arrived in New York I believe if we
had been sick longer that I should have died. I was the worse off the lot but with Thanks
be to Almighty God we all arrived safe. I don’t know how we shall like America. It is
very different to the Isle of Man the houses here are not convenient as they are at home.

here to make their fire in summer time in its furnace it is not unlike a _______ _______
in appearance. It is made of Brick and they burn wood and charcoal in _____ and where
their cooking is done they put the fire out. I don’t like it at all. Grates are far nicer.
All our friends here are well and they all send their love to you Aunt Elen and
Uncle. The Maccreadies are well and they wish to be remembered to you. Mrs
Maccreadie was very sorry that you had to wait so long for the certificate but they are so
busy that it was neglected. I hope that you will have no trouble now about it as I think

have only 3 small rooms and we pay 6 dollars a month about 6 shillings, a weak English
