Skagway, Alska Dear Adie; I received letters from you and Marg and Miss Garrett now in the University of Washington and if a second book of the Lamentations of Jeremiah is needed I will just need the combined description of the Flu as given by the 3 of you. You poor girls. I can imagine what you have all been thru I was not a whit surprised when I heard for all the time I sup- posed that PEnnaylvania would be the worst place in the world for we arrays all had it all the time anyway and this was just a plague along the same lines as the old grippe I believe I do hope evrybody escapes but its more than I have dared hope I have been so uneasy for father and mother all alone. I have also worried about Martha for IdahoCity would have absolutely no quarantine and they handle so many papers from Boise. But so far I have had no news of its being there and I take the Boise paper.The whoel state is reeking with it. It has been carried all along the lines of travel from Australia to Scottland. The steamer Victoria took it to Kome and. when she landed at Seattle, on her retun trip had a number dead and 4o cases aboard.Haines, Juneau, every port around here has it but thanks to our do tor (doctor) we have escaped so far.He simply the whole outfit by the ear and made them come thru. he had alot of intelligent cooperation from the better class here and the Territory allowed a pest house to be created and every man high or low who got off a boat here went into quarantine 5 days and we have had no cases. No crews were permitted to land.The Haines boat fromFortSeward may come for supplies but they anchor out and it is taken out to them They have 5o cases at the fort and I dont know how many deaths. |
