Armentrout, May 18, 1866  | | | | Published: | 2002 | | | | Subjects: | University of Virginia Civil War Collection | UVA-LIB-BrandLetterscivilwar | | | | Description: | You very kind and ever dear letter of the 5th of April was
duly recieved which found me quite well & truly glad to hear from you. I
reckon you think very strange of me for not replying sooner but when I tell you
the reason I know you will forgive me. About 5 or 6 weeks ago my eyes became so
very weak that I could not possibly see to read of wrote consequently I could
not answer your letter, & even now, it is with the greatest difficulty
imaginable that I can barely make out to write I am reduced to the painfull necessity of wearing glasses. it is truly a sad missfortune for ones
eyesight to be so seriously impaired as is
the case with me at this time, but I hope by the constant use of green glasses
to have my sight restored. My Brother once suffered with the same missfortune but
regained his sight by wearing glasses. I hope I may be equally fortunate. | | | Similar Items: | Find |
