LETTER RECEIVED By A TINES MAN.
The following letter was received from
the cashier Of the First National Bank
Of Florida, at Jacksonville, by TINE
man, a cousin Of the writer. The liter
was received punctured with many holes
and fdmigated throughout.
The letter, with certain personsl mat
tiers omitted, says:
Your letter was duly received On
the appearance Of yellow fever rented
house in the country, just between St.
Johns river and railroad. quarter OF
mile from each. 60 in at a. 10. and
return at p. m. having fifteen minute
run each way. None Of the young men
in the bank have been sick, because they,
too, stay in the country.
ITO date we have had 2,l34 cases aud
POI deaths. For myself, am not at all
worried. 1t is said that there were cases
Of yellow fever here last March, un-
known to the physicians because il did
not spread as yellow fever does. II that
is true, my wife had 1t last winter, and |
need not fear on her account Blu; as
only some forty or fifty people were thus
sick, it can't be positively afiirmed as yet
that none of them will have trouble
again. Iguess they won't take the quar-
antine off in time for US to visit the big
Exposition in your city" xxx
