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.
