(now Missouri territory, June IS, 1912:
: g This country, as you have no doubt heard,
has experienced great injury by the violent
conclusions of the earthquakes. In some places
the soil is much injured owing to the explo-
sions from the bowels of the earth, which have
causedthe sinking of the grouad mostly in the
Little Prairie, and in consequence of which we
have no doubt that many places that were be-
fore dry will now in the times of high treshets
be inundated. But the greatest injury the
CoNntry has sustained is Its depopulatlon by the
desertion of the inhabitants. The events OF
the 9TH of February last were dread[ully alarm
ing indeed About three fourths of the inha-
bitants left the country, and great portion of
them have not yet returned, prevented by the
OF what may yet befal this devot-
ed country, for the tremors of the earth still
continue. We have from FIVE to eight shocks
in twenty-our hours, and would speak with
IN bounds to say we have had ten thousand
shocks"
