My DEAR SlR,-Pray excuse what you seem to
think negligence on my part, in not giving more
particulars about the laying OF the cable but [
have hardly had time TO eat drink or sleep- Tho
splice made ten days since.
Since arrived Mr.. Mackay has been WORKING
day and night to get everything ready people
here seem to have had little faith in the eabI.'s
arriving, and had made very slight PREPARATIONS
TO receive 1t. The end of the Atlantic Cable was
landed on the Irish shore from the Niagara an
the 9TH of August, 1851, and the other end from
the same vessel on the 5th of August 1853 The
heavy shore end laid from Valintia, by the Mn
CARA, last year, still remains and Is to be splicei
on 10 the main cable so that both ends of tho
cable have been actually land by the Magma
Hoping soon to see you, remain
