To the Editor Of the Ledger
l notice that NJ v Holbrook has a let
in your issue Of yesterday in which he
intimates that there are no native cases
Of yellow fever here, and makes light OF
my dispatch, saying that we had six
deaths and twenty cases. | am very
sorry to be called upon to answer such
remarkable assertions at such a time as
this. but justice to a prostrate town de-
mands some notice ia this s

Holbrook, l have sent my family a few
miles from town to protect them from
the disease. l am at my post, though 10
feeble health, and being a member Of the
Towards have better opportunities even
than Mr. Holbrook to know what is
going on in the sick districts.
To be brief. / will say that according
to the facts laid before the Howard AS
sociAtion by our physicians we have had
l6 deaths and 30 additional new cases
since last Sunday morning, the LIST inst
this out Of a population Of seven or
eight hundyed, white and black. The
yellow fever nurses sent here from Mem.

ident G.. P. Ware, who has passed
through eleven epidemics. sustains my
reports. The citizens who are left here,
with the exception Of Mr.. HoIbrook, and
possibly one or two others, sustaia all l
have said. And finally what l have said
can be proven by the death.roll
itself. DR.. j. II. Howell, one Of
our noblest physicians, who had yellow
fever in 1873, has been stricken down
again, and, as might have been expected,
ct bis post Of duty, at the bedside Of the
dying. Major Bennett, another noble
citizen, died yesterday, and his nurse, J
J Ashc, an experienced yellow fever
nurse, aud his Memphis nurse, sent here
BY President Langstaf, soy be had a fully
developed case Of yellow fever. But ]
will add no more. Our town is in mourn.
