further action. and the companies adj

to receive any Populations from the strik-

The insects for a week have daily
attacked these carriers and their
horses in great swarms. In order to
alleviate the sufferings of men and
beasts it is necessary to plunge in the
Delaware bay for salt water treat
ment. There seems to be no remedy
and meanwhile the delivery of the
mails is hampered.
