Liverpool, February 9,1856

Liverpool, 11th February, 1856.
Ladies and Gentlemen,—Your very kind letter, with its
handsome and valuable aecompaniment, have been received
by me with feelings of deep respect.

The owners of the fine ships comprising the Liverpool and
St. John, N. B. " Black Ball Line," have endeavoured,
in their arrangements, to meet the wants of a prosperous
and growing community, and they will be much pleased to
learn that you have so appreciated their Efforts.
We have had a successful, and, considering the season of
the year, a comfortable passage from New Brunswick to this
port; and it is a matter of sincere gratification for me to
know that the management of my ship, the John Barbour,
has merited your approval.
I am sure that you all unite with me in gratitude to
Rim, who in his over-ruling providence, has so safety con-
ducted us on our voyage : and, heartily reciprocating your
kind wishes, I am, Ladies and Gentlemen, your obliged
and faithful servant, YABSFS MARSHALL.
