The epidemic has many cases in Woodville, Batton Rouge, and at Bayou Sarah and Port Hudson and I hope and pray that it will not last many more days in this place. We have had rain this morning and the air is much cooler. Oh, that there would come frost. Since I commenced this, I hear of Two new cases and one death. But there is know telling when or where it mite Stop.
Time can only tell.
But from your Silence upon the subject you do not want it as I have written to you several times concerning it. I would like much to hear from you. Amongst those that is in town there is less alarm now than when it first Broke out for most all the alarmists had left. I got some chickens the other day by sending a boy to the country. They will not let a person from Town come near them.
