Nh J. TOBIAS: Dear Sir-I am happy to say
that the Spectacles which obtained from YOU last
week are entirely satisfactory. From an inequal-
ty in the visual range Of my eyes, | have hereto
lore found great difficulty in getting glasses OF the
state that, by the aid Of your optometer this dta-
Guilty has been happily obviated that TIE glasses
you furnished Inc are decidedly the best adarted

Department Of Interior, May Z, 1855
From natural defects and the UNEQUAL range OF
my eyes, have been compelled to use glasses for
several years. l have tried different Opticians
without obtaining glasses perfectly fitted to nv
eyes. Four months since Mr.. Tobias made two
pairs especially for me, which have found to
serve me perfectly. By the use Of his optoneter
he is enabled to adapt Glasses infinitely to the eve
l most cheerutly recommend Mr. Tobias to al
having occasion TO use glasses, and bear my tsstI-
mony as to his skill as an optician
