“Bah! We don’t need Jefferson. We have the general. President Washington won’t abandon us!”

Mr. Carris blew his nose loudly. “The president retires to Virginia for a respite every September. He is not a man to change his habits. Even if he called the Congress back, few would dare return. I tell you, William, men who stood unafraid before British cannon run in fear from this foul pestilence. I fear for Philadelphia. I fear for the people, I fear for myself.”

—Fever 1793,
Laurie Halse Anderson
