Description
Letter from T.D. Lancaster of the Ocala Rifles to David Lang regarding Captain E.B. Richardson.
General Note
The company was ordered to report to the Nassau County sheriff from September 6 until September 10, 1888, to aid in the suppression of a longshoremen's strike. The strike ended after a show of force and a yellow fever outbreak that killed dozens. The company was quarantined until September 23 after members of the Gainesville Guards, which also reported to the strike, were infected with the disease, resulting in three fatalities. No members of the Ocala Rifles were infected.
