Scope and content:
Undated notice.
The circa date given on the original folder is 1750; however, no mention of smallpox appears in the Corporation or Overseers minutes for this year. A more likely circa date of 1764, when Boston and surrounding areas battled smallpox between March and May, is therefore given.
