You will have heard of the Sickness that has lately taken place in Malaga, which is reported to be the Black Vomit, the last accounts mentioned that it was mending as the number of Dead diminished daily; but thanks to the Almighty it has not spread out of Malaga, and in this part of the Country we enjoy the most perfect health, which you will please make publick that our trade may not suffer by ungrounded reports. I have the honour to be most respectfully, Sir, Your most obt. hble ⟨Servt.⟩
