DEAR IR:-When about to leave your city in
December last, you desired me to communicate
the degree of success J. should attain in the use
of your "Artificial Arm" l now do so with
pleasure; first, because it is but just that you
should enjoy the benefits which properly ought
to accrue to the eXertion of ingenuity SO humane
in its designs and beneficial in its results to the
manned; and because the benefit / continue to
enjoy from its use, places me under obligations
to the author OF so great boon to man. am free,
therefore, to say in all candor that your Arm is
decided success, and affords me conveniences ana
comforts quite beyond my most sanguine expec-
tations. was staff officer in the late Confede-
rate States army: was wounded in the left arm
on Sd April 1865, and suffered its amputation on
May Sth following. My stump is only two and
hall inches long. Your Arm was attached De-
cember 22d, since which time have worn it every
day, and frequently at night while asleep, with
out the slightest inconvenience or annoyance l
believe it to be superior to any which l have yet
heard of. With its aid l manage easily round
rule in keeping set of books, and the ordinary
silver fork at table. 1t serves to keep my paper
in position while writing, and grasps watch
with sufficient tirmness when winding it up. 1t
is easily gloved and ungloved. In fine, l enjoy
many uses from it which, to the untutored, would
seem impossible. You are at entire liberty to
use this letter in such manner as you desire
With much personal goodwill,
remain, truly yours,
