Captain Rogers and John Williams say that they are coming with us to the Colony. But I doubt it very much. The party from Wales with Rev. A Matthews and Rev. D. Lloyd Ruthin, must have reached B. Ayres by this time. We have 20 able bodied men in our number.

We expect to arrive at Rio Janeiro about the 12 of June. The Rio steamme is to start from here on the 29th or 30th of this month (May)
