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.
