""A Letter to the Secretary at War, on Sickness and Mortality in the West Indies"" is a book written by Andrew Halliday in 1839. The book is a review of Captain Tulloch's Statistical Report, which provides statistical data on the health and mortality rates of British soldiers stationed in the West Indies during the 1830s. Halliday's letter addresses the high mortality rates and poor health conditions of soldiers in the West Indies, and argues that these issues are caused by a lack of proper medical care and attention. He also discusses the impact of tropical diseases such as yellow fever and malaria on the soldiers' health. Halliday's letter is an important historical document that sheds light on the conditions faced by British soldiers in the West Indies during the 19th century, and provides insight into the challenges of providing medical care in tropical environments.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
