Item
Identifier: CMMA I-2-a
Scope and Contents
Harrison tells McMaster of a priest of Oskolorsa who tended some small pox victims on the Valley R.R. near Fella south of Des Moines. The priest was refused admittance to the train on his return and was served notice by the Mayor of Oskalorsa to keep himself indoors. Harrison says the act was more out of fear of the disease than disdain for the priest and asks McMaster if infection is possible on mere contact like that. :: I-2-a A.L.S. 3pp. 12mo.
