Nyack, April 15, 1835.
Mr. Wells, —I have only time to say, that the Sloop Samsondale, building by Mr.
Felter of this place, for Messrs. Felter & Peck of your village, was launched to-
day, at high tide. She is a splendid Sloop, of about 100 tons burthen, and glided
in her descent from the ways many hundred yards from the shore. You may
expect her up in a few days. Yours in haste.​
