eyes impaired as to require the use OF GLASSES,
would recommend Mr.. John Tobias suitable per-
son from whom to obtain such Glasses they may
require as he has suited with pair of Spectaces

very much by service of years in the Post Office
Department which berth required me to be on duty
from IL o'clock at night till after day. during which
'me used but one light.
