i Mr. Editor: Knowing your regard for
truth and justice, We your old friends re
quest you to give this Communication a
place In your paper, and as you are per
sonally acquainted with'most of the Sign
ers, w have nodoubt you will vouch for
their characters ifhecessary. The object
of this Communrcatton is to clear the pro
fessional character of our much; esteemed
and wbrthy-friendi Dr. A. S. Hall, of
Scotland Neck from gross, false and un
founded charges, relative to his profession
al course in the' Small Pox cases which
have been and are now in our neighbor
hood. The charges we hear are as! we .now
state them. To wit: That Dr. Hall
through fear, refused to attend the patients,
and would only go to the houses of the
sick and look in at the door and give some
slight direction, arid then left the patients
to the "tender mercies of the disease" arid
the corjpSe of the first case was burled
before it Was cold, and that Dr. Hall was
instrumental in i the transacUori Kow - We
withriut hesitation pronounce the Whole to
be a "base slander and fabrication';!' which'
could only have originated in ignorance or
malignity; a plain statement of the facts as
they came' under the 1 knowledge pfmos
urwlll place the matter in a clearer light,
thariJanjr statement Vbich has" gone forth,
or which in all probability you riiay Kate
heard; We who know him konw that his
