Yellow Fever
A letter to the Editors from a friend in the State of Mississippi ways that “Intelligence from Natchez gives a gloomy picture of the state of things there. The yellow fever is raging to great extent and not less than eight or ten die of a day. The place however, is literally deserted and the most of those who have had the rashness to stay, pay the forfeit of their lives for the temerity. We hope better times will shortly appear, as frost has greeted us once more.” – Nat. Intel.
