Spanish Influenza took Its departure as suddenly as ii came It was a terrible visitation. In our last letter we stated the num ber of deaths In the thirty-day period from September II to October 12 was 213. This was from all causes. For the ten-day period from October 12 to October 22 the number of deaths Is reported by the war department it Washington to have been 299. That was an average of 29 a day for the period in question. This makes" the total number of deaths since Septem ber 13. the date of the first attack if Spanish Influenza, up to the 22d. th date of the lifting of the quarantine, 612. This la the total from all causes. The large number of ne groes at the camp made the deuth rate larger than It would otherwise have been because fatalities among the members of this race are greater than among the whites.
