Conrad Gaedeke to Sargent, April 9, 1883
[Inclosure 5 in No. 135.—Extract.]
Mr. Gaedeke to Mr. Sargent.
United States Consular Agency, Königsberg, April 9, 1883.
Sir: In pursuance of my communication of the 27th past, I have the honor to inform yon that I have ascertained that fourteen cases of trichinosis have occurred at the garrison at Tilsit in the beginning of March, but that all these cases have been very light, and that everybody has already recovered.
It is officially stated that the soldiers have not received the infected pork in the ménage of the caserne, but it has not been possible to state whence they got it, and it is, therefore, impossible to say whether this pork has been of inland or of American production, but it is most probable that the soldiers have received the product from their relatives. * * *
I have, &c.,
CONRAD GAEDEKE.
