"We have this summer been severely afflicted by an intermittent fever which carried off a great part of the natives in our vicinity. To attempt to describe our situation during this dreadful visitation, is impossible and you can form some idea of our distress when I inform you that we had at one time seventy six of our people on the sick list."
