Letters from William Bradford detail the situation at "Mattapan" and note that there were many sick and dead at his location. In 1637, a Plymouth resident named Thomas Morton wrote a scathing analysis of Samuel Fuller's medical abilities in his book "New English Canaan." A quite strong paragraph in his analysis is quoted here: "But in mine opinion, he deserves to be set upon a palfrey (horse), and led up and down in triumph through New Canaan, with a collar of Jurdans about his neck, as was one of like desert in Richard the Second's time through the streets of London, that men might know where to find a quacksalver (quack).".
