Sir,
A few hours after despatching my letter of the 26th Instant, I
am sorry to say the cholera reappeared and has carried off the
parties named in the margin.
I have further to report the decease of Alexander Thompson A.B.
General No 3079 from "Liver disease" on the night of the 27th at 8H
58M.
From the enclosed sick report you will observe that there are
now two cases of real epidemic Cholera both in a fair (way) state of
recovery. The eleven men in the report with Diarrhoea are
considered by the Surgeon as laboring under a mild form of epidemic
and be looks forward to not losing any of them.
I have the honor to be
(Signed) W. Balfour
