Description

Cholera is sweeping Cincinnati. 137 died just yesterday. Due to the "awful severity" of the cholera epidemic nearly every business is suspended and some of Cincinnati's best citizens are gone. If he survives,Tefft has six pictures he would like to see published in Memorials of Prison Life. Henry Howe's plates are not good enough. The pictures selected must be daguerrotyped and then engraved. Tefft has finished editing the book, but no work will be done on publication until the epidemic subsides. Abstract Number - 591
