I recently found a letter in a antiques shop and was curious if anyone
has heard of this horse epidemic:
==========
Schoharie Nov 18, 1872.

I think the horses, are nearly all sick, in the place, and when this
horse epidemic is over, we would like to have you come...

Mrs R. W. Lasher

I was wondering if anyone knew if this was a widespread epidemic or if
it was simply a localized epidemic.
