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.
