For those wishing to know: a harrowing account, published sixteen years 
after the events, of what happened when the cholera came to Plympton St. 
Mary, near Plymouth, England.  Rev. Coppard was the local clergyman who 
did his best to help the dying, at a time when they knew nothing of 
treatment or the disease itself.

All the best,
David,
England with clear skies and very quiet...
