    On 4 January 1841, the Prophet Joseph Smith received a letter from Elam Ludington and Eli G. Terrill of New Orleans who requested an elder to assist the members of the Church who were living there. "Send us Peter, or an Apostle to preach unto us Jesus," they wrote, and enclosed $10 to help defray expenses. The group may have been among those from the sailing ship Isaac Newton, which arrived from London on 21 December 1840 — the first vessel to carry saints to New Orleans.
