H. MORTON, ESQ.,, New YORK Yacht Club
DEAR SIR-YOur favor OF the 10th January came
duly to hand, but absence from Brighton and indis-
position prevented my sooner replying.
The Cambria and the DauntlesS Will 3D. w leave
Ireland for New York on the 4th OF July, and in
view of the uncertainty OF our arrival do not think
1t desirable TO fix the date for the Isl cup race and
therefore leave 1t for the New York Yacht Club 10
name the day, giving reasonable time after arrival
run across the Atlantic, and falling any mutual
arrangement as TO the course shall be prepared
to enter the Cambria for the race in question in
strict accordance with the rules Of the New York
Yacht Club.
1t Will also afford me much pleasure to enter for
all schooner races during the time remain in or
New York.
Some months ago was, through third party,
some firm or gentleman In America. In antcipa-
ton OF my intended races In New York waters did
not feel disposed to do So believing that another
more powerful vessel, somewhat GU the same lines
might be built to compete with me; but. whether
shall lose or win the ocean race, or more in
New York bay shall hope to have the pleasure OF
asking the New York Yacht Club TO accept a true
block model or the Cambria, as per your rule No. 10.
mittee, at your convenience and Obge, yours truly,
JAMES ASHBURY. :
