Description | Stating that 'poor Sandy' died of smallpox, caught the day after he reached Dalhousie. He stayed there a few days, thinking that a doctor would arrive with the Lieutenant Governor, but there was no medical man with the camp. He returned to the foot of the hills where he died on the 29 December, at Mahdopore [Mahhopur]. It is sad to think that he rests so far from family and friends. Her husband joins her in sending kind regards. |
