I am quoting a very small portion of this letter Detailing this voyage because I find it fascinating.

""Letter of Thomas H. Clark - October 22, 1849
"""Ship James Pennell, New Orleans, October 22nd, 1849.
Dear Brother Pratt,--""
"""There has been but very little sickness on board. We lost three children, which were weaned just before they were brought on board; all the rest of the babes have done well. I think it would be well to inform the Saints not to wean their children just as they come; for if they do, they will likely to lose them before they get across. """
-added to the bottom of this letter;;;
"Thomas H. Clark, President.P.S. The ship "Berlin," arrived the same day, and has lost forty-three of the passengers with the cholera. [p.363]"""
BIB: Clark, Thomas H. [Letter] Latter-day Saints' Millennial Star 11:23, (December 1, 1849), p. 363. (CHL)
