| Description | Mrs. Hartwig died of yellow fever on 30 Apr, sincerely mourned by the children she taught and all others who knew her character. Klein has given Fernandez' hostility as reason for his leaving Gambier, but as Fernandez is still friendly to Bashia Butscher thinks that it was Klein's inferior capacity and poor English that Fernandez objected to. Renner speaks well of Harrison.
Yellow fever carried off 2 acting-governors, Major Maling and Dr. Purdie, and many other Europeans. Such preparatory work as is possible on Leic. Mt. is nearly finished. Nothing more can be done until MacCarthy returns. Measles have swept through the school but only one died. |
