In August, 1852, a mouth after his departure, Mr.and Mrs.
Parsons, and Mr.and Mrs.Morgan were all prostrated by intermittent fever.

Mrs.Morgan did not yield to the disease, till she had exhausted her strength in caring for the others; and then, after a short illness, during most of which she was unconscious, she was removed to her heavenly home.

Mr.Parsons was at one time very low; and the three survivors were subjected to such frequent returns of fever during the winter, that they were advised by physicians to spend the spring and summer on the Bosphorus.

They left the station in charge of native helpers, and removed to Constantinople.

Until sickness came, their labors had been uninterrupted.
