A Narrative of the Proceedings of the Black People, During the Late Awful Calamity in Philadelphia

A pamphlet published by Richard Allen and Absalom Jones in 1794 to refute claims made by Matthew Carey that Black people profited from the yellow fever pandemic of 1793. The narrative is followed by a letter to Matthew Clarkson, mayor of Philadelphia (dated Jan. 7, 1794, and signed by Absalom Jones and Richard Allen) with Clarkson's reply (dated Jan. 23, 1794); "An address to those who keep slaves, and approve the practice"; "To the people of colour"; and "A short address to the friends of him who hath no helper."
