TT HAVING come to our knowledge that

brock of the epidemic have returned, con
tracted the fever and died. it is my duty, by
resolution of the Howard Association, to warn
all Refugees that, owing to the fact that we
have all we can do to nurse and care for those
who are here, If they come back to the city
before the epidemic has been officially declared
over. they will do so at their own risk and
with almost the certainty of having to provide
for themselves in case of sickness. Our pres
ent obligations are as many and as weightY as
we can carry, and we cannot, without break
