_December_, when they went into Cantonments. During that Time, there
had been a continued Rain for some Months, and the Camp and
neighbouring Fields, and Villages, were not only filled with the
Excrements of such a numerous Army, but likewise with infinite Numbers
of dead Horses, and other dead Animals, which had died in doing the
necessary military Duties, and in bringing Forage, Provisions, and
other Necessaries, to the Camp: besides this, the Field where there
had been an Action on the 31st of _July_, and where many of the Dead
were scarce covered with Earth, was in the Neighbourhood of the Camp.
Not only the Soldiers, but the Inhabitants of the Country, who were
reduced to the greatest Misery and Want, were infected with the
Malignant Fever, and whole Villages almost laid waste by it.
