| Transcript | BELFAST The following extract, taken from a Letter of Captain Peter Dillon, of the IRISH VOLUNTEER, dated at Philadelphia the 3d ult. to his owners John Montgomery and Co. is published at their request, for the satisfaction of the friends of the passengers who were on board that ship. "I have the pleasure to acquaint you of my safe arrival at this port, all hearty and well, except a servant of Mr Jackson's, and a little boy (Davison) whose death was occasioned by the fall he got into the hold before I left Larne.- We were remarkably healthy all the passage, I made the land in eight weeks, but was afterwards kept beating for some days with the wind to the westward." |
