"Hot dry winds forever blowing, dead men to the grove-yards going, funeral verses Oh! What plagues there is no knowing!"
This other quote from the book Fever 1793 is representingthe weather and number if population in people dyeing . Since the moth in which fever happened was in September, which means it was still hot but getting cold, so the quote says "hot, dry winds forever blowing" which is reasonable for the month of September. The dead men were going to grove yards obviously, and lots of funerals. By the last part of the quote " what plagues there is no knowing! " , they really don't know what plagues rather was so they say no knowing. Fever 1793 makes us see and understand what the people of Philadelphia went thru in the year of 1793.
