| Dear Sir, |
| My course of lectures on Anatomy is about
to be arrested by the impossibility of procuring transportation from
Richmond for the subject which is necessary to illustrate them. I am
informed that throughout the present month, the freight trains will be
exclusively occupied in carrying government supplies. Could you not
render this School the essential service of permitting a couple of
barrels to be brought up for our use? |
| Your young friend Pickens received a fall
4 days ago which I fear has seriously injured his broken thigh. It had
nited, although with shortening & deformity & he was moving about
primarily on crutches. |
| A speedy answer will much oblige. |
| Yours very truly |
| J. S. Davis |
