VOL. I.....No. I.

TO DR. JOHN REDMAN COXE.
DEAR SIR,

SEND you herewith for your Museum, an extract from Dr. Mitchell's letter to Governor Colden, containing an account of the yellow fever as it appeared in Virginia in the years 1741, and 1742. A copy of the letter was put into my hands by Dr. Franklin, by whom it had been transcribed, a fhort time before his death, and was highly ufeful, as you well know, in directing me to that mode of practice which I pursued in the yellow fever of the year 1793.

From, dear Sir,

Yours fincerely,

BENJAMIN RUSH.

PHILADELPHIA, July 31, 1804.

"IN giving you an account of the peftilential distemper which has lately raged in Virginia, I shall not touch on any thing relating to it, which you have had a full account of already in the fame or like difeafe; that I might the better confult leifure for writing, and spare you the tedious trouble of reading. For which reafon it would be needlefs here, to enter into a particular enumeration and description of all the symptoms which accompany this dire difeafe; they being no more, nor no fewer, than what are commonly afcribed to, and may be observed in most VOL. I.
