(The following letter has been received
from the president of the Howard Associa-
tion at Memphis:-ED. REP.
MEMPHIS, October ll.-There is no ap-
parent abatement of the disease; on the
contrary, the number of new cases reported
daily which occur in every part of the city
give evidence that it is on the increase.
The doctors say that the recent fr ost had
beneficial effect that will soon dev elOp,
but as yet the mortuary lists are al arming.
The relief committee are daily in receipts
of liberal contributions from every part of
the country, aud are busily engaged in the
proper dispensation Of aid to the afflicted
and distressed. The demand for nurses is
yet greater than the supply and Mobile
and New Orleans are drawn upon and sup
plying them.
The disease is not confined to any par
ticular locality, though the original seat
and origin of the plague, Happy Hollow, is
carefully avoided, and is being thoroughly
overhauled and disinfected by the board OF
health.
The Howards, the Citizens Relief and
the ODD Fellows, Masons. Germans, and
all other relief associations are actively Ell.

sick and providing for the distressed, the
principal and most difficult Of these tasks
being the providing temporary homes for
the great number OF helpless children, made
orphans by the terrible savages of the
fever.
AS yet all have been provided for 70
limited extent, but as each day increases
the number the means at hand are neces
sarily diminished, and what the result will
be in another week is beyond present calcu
!ation.
The Masons OF Memphis are in financial
distress on account OF the heavy expenses
they have incurred during the epidemic.
They have buried twenty of their number
in the last two weeks. and have now on
hand titty-two cases.
Their expenses are over $500 day. They
have received remittances from a few other
cities. but not sufficient to meet their neces-
sites. Lodges and Masons can remit to A.
j. Wheeler. secretary OF the Masonic relief
board. who will use all funds received for
the distressed belonging 20 tho craft. The
Walthall fntirmary. under the management
of the Howard Association, with DR.. Luke
+. Blackburn in charge. is doing good
work, but few fatal cases occurring in
proportion 70 the number OF patients re-
ceiyed. and in consideration OF the cond- |
ton Of the great majority of these carried
there.
