Ship—Europe   Tuesday 1814.

My D.r M.r Sutcliff

         I have only time to say to you that we are on board, are getting under way, & have every prospect of being happy on our voyage. We have two serious men on board with whom we have family worship—we do not stop at Madiera but whenever we can we will drop you a line.

                           Adieu Adieu. but not forever—

                                             Our love to all.

                                                               Most affect.ly

                                                                Yours.

                                                                                 E. Carey
