Dizziness still affects my Head.
Most people say this Fever was brought by infection from Bombay hither and it is said to have been brought from Surat to Bombay, and to have spread all along the Coast of Malabar. It is said to have spread from this Town of Fort William to Moorshedabad, and Patna, and from thence to Cawnpore about Nine Hundred Miles distant from hence, in the district of Agrah where there is a Camp and Cantonments of the Company’s Forces both Europeans and Sepaheys, and from thence the infection is said to have spread to Futtiagur, where there are a few of the Company’s Force. Futtiagur is also in the Province of Agrah, and is according to Major Rennell’s Ma (printed in London in 1777) about three miles from Furruckabad, and about 66 miles from Caunpour, on the banks of the same branch of the Ganges, in a line from Caunpour some degrees to the West of the direct North.
