with no covering over me at night except my blanket 

 and mosquito bur, and have yet to feel the slightest 

 touch of fever. I have known of instances of fever the 

 first season, but do not think the disease was contracted 

 there. So far as my observation extends, I am inclined 

 to agree fully with one better qualified to judge than 

 myself, that &quot; Florida possesses a much more agreeable 

 and salubrious climate than any other State or Territory 

 in the Union.&quot;
