I send no apology for so doleful a note because I feel, Mrs. Carr, that you will appreciate my feelings.
Most cordially,
J. Muir.
Sunday, April 6th, [1867.]
Your precious letter of the 15th reached me last night. By accident it was nearly lost.
I cannot tell you, Mrs. Carr, how much I appreciate your sympathy and all of these kind thoughts of cheer and substantial consolation which you have stored for me in this letter.
I am much better than when I wrote you; can now sit up about all day and in a room partly lighted.
Your Doctor says, “The aqueous humor may be restored.” How? By nature or by art?
The position of my wound will be seen in this figure.
Nat. size of wound.
Outer side, right eye.
