1To Thomas Jefferson from Wilson Miles Cary, 10 October 1792 (Jefferson Papers)
my enquiries about you. My Son and his Family who are here viz 4 Children, and another expected, this Winter, is now labouring under the scarlet Fever or putrid sore throat, which has gone through his Family, I thank God, happily enough. The Doctor flatters us there is no danger. I have often thought it would not be amiss considering his complication of disorders,...
