' ing is an answer, and which, at my requcft, the L author has confenteri Ihould l,e made pvWic. * r RICHARD CHAINING MOORE, New-York, July 2<?th, 1796, t Sir, ' IT is true that a fever resembling the one \vhiih proved so great a fcourg; to our city the last yeat, ' made its appearance about Whitehall, and in the. : vicinity of the Exchange, early in this month j y but fortunately for us, from a concurrence of hap -1 py events, the fever has entirely fublided. It had 1 continued Cut a Short time only, wheii it plealed a 1 Gracious Providence, to fer.d us hard" winds, re* ' peatcd thunder and Ifghtninp, inundations of isin,- ' and ceol weather. To these cauhs i think we may afcriVie the fufpenfiou of a formidable cifeafe which had began to ihew its.-IF amongst us. And fhoulA it return again, I have fwlid reaLns to believe that ? it will not be extended beyond certain limits, Yot} may recoiled that in Ihe frequent con»erfa» 5' tions we have had 011 the fubjeft ot the Wt yeai's * fever, I have been uniform in my opinion, as tp the f" caufesof its production, namely, the accumulation 3 of every fpeciesof/filih an<t pitiiiliible matter, oft v ~ the low, new grounds on the south tide of the 3 city, and the abominable odora of filling up flips 1 jtnd docks \vi:!i similar materials: I have said that 116 such cnufes, aided by a moid atmosphere ?nd a hot e ' fun, would not fail of producing the most baneful exhalations, and that their effedls must neceflarily be felt by those who are more immediately cxpgjed to their influence. The proprietors of the lots on tfce eafl fide of White Hall Slip, carried out a bulk head the last ri- spring, with a view to extend the dock farther into in. the river. Thedimenfioiis of the dock are very ,td coufiderable | and a maxim invariably adopted by ire the owners of the docks, is, that the cheapest mode he of filling up is the fecit ; accordingly carts were ( of employed to colled such dirt and filth as all large ter and populous cities fu'nifh in abundance ; and' Dii with materials of this description wbs the dock ia, filled up, and to give greater salubrity to the as- there were occasionally added, dead horles, dogs* &c. &c. The exposure' of Whits-Hall, and indeed the :ch whole of the weft end of the city must be canfiders' iti- ed fas naturally extremely healthy. The winds du-" ;he ring the warm season, are commonly from the £ea, and arrive at tbis part of the town uncontaminated :>o- bv palling over no tjnwholefome grounds. Yet such ■ess is the fad, that the poisonous exhalations which :m, have abounded in that quarter dtiring the warm rht weather in the beginning of this-month, had far '-ell changed the air, that the inhabitants on tha foutV ihd fide of Pearl ttreet, between the Old-flip and Whito. f a Hall, almost all concur in their teltimony, that the. tjie difagrceable effluvia has frequently übliged therrf,- n'al especially in the evening, to close the windows on >ar- the south fide of tfieir houses, and in ftveral inftan to ce)gentlemen haveafruredus,that the oflFeufive fmeil ge- has been such as to occasion vomitings. Pa- The whatf on which Mr. Delalield's stores are ereited, is in a state truly execrabl -, and the flip but on the right and on the left, is in a cOßditipß little better, Th«fe and such places are vitited by the dock fever—the yellow fever if you please, that ' murderer of our own creating. Were the proprie tors of thefeand fbch like docks, compelled to live ms in their vicinity, tht evil would soon be remedied j" iry- but people of this description are generally fectire 1 of from the ravages of disease, in the cooler retirements dif- of the country. rnc- The present exertions of the common council, ia giving!* new furfaoeofwholefome earth to thedock lew at White-Hall, will no doubt be productive of the but greatcft advaniages to the inhabitants of that part be of the city | and it the fame measures were extend vel- ed to other parts of the town, there would be much ade less rsafon to apprehend a return of the do k-fever. eral Thu6 fir, your are answered: you m ght cd- have some to town with fafety j you may come to his town with fafety. New York, as I have laid be fore, may be rendered as healthy a city as any i.n derthe fun ; and when a more rigid police prevails, and thenuifances with which the city abounds are ifh, corrected, you will hear no more of:he ravages,of day particular diseases. 1 amSii, ike. tcr, RiCHARDBAYLEY. :«'el To the Revi.
