Read this excerpt from Memoir, Correspondence, and Miscellanies, from the Papers of Thomas Jefferson.

It is long since I wrote to you, because I know you must be where you could not receive my letters: and perhaps it may be some time before I write to you again, on account of a contagious and mortal fever which has arisen here, and is driving us all away. It is called a yellow fever, but is like nothing known or read of by the physicians. . . . All persons who can find asylum elsewhere, are flying from the city: this will doubtless extend it to other towns, and spread it through the country, unless an early winter should stop it.

Which excerpt from Fever 1793 connects to the historical account detailed in the excerpt?

"Wasn’t that long ago folks didn’t have any sugar. No coffee or tea, either."
"The Free African Society is having a meeting about the fever."
"What is wrong with people, Andrew? We suffered all kinds of disease in our youth, but folks were sensible. They didn't squall like children and hide in the woods."
"Once a day they remove the bodies for burial. A neighbor threatened to burn the place down if the sick are not removed," explained Mr. Carris.
