Dr.. NJ. Bernhard, Oculist and Opticisn:
deep sense Of obligation I feel for the profess
sionsl kindness extended to me, by which, with
eye sight impaired by years of application and
study, I am enabled to write this note with the
clearness of vision which I enjoyed in the days
of my youth. May your honorable and useful
life long be spared, that humanity may enjoy
the scientific skill of one so eminently qualified
in mind and heart to do good to his fellowmen.
With grateful acknowledgements, permit me to
subscribe myself,
Your obedient servant and friend,

Sir: I have made full and satisfactory test OF
the Spectacles procured from you. and l have
the pleasure to say that the glasses are better
adapted to my eyes than any I have ever used.
The facilities with which you fitted the glass to
my eye furnished me conclusive evidence OF
your thorough experience as An Oculist-
Your sttsinments in your profession entitle
you to tho confidence, patronage and gratitude
of the public.
1 have the honor to be very respectfully
yours, james u.
Governor of South Carolina,
Portsmouth, Va, Dec. !, 1865.
Prof. Bernhardt:-I owe you q debt of graft
tude for the benefit you have rendered me. For
many years l have been accustomed to use
glasses when reading or writing, and always
with pain, more or less, to my eyes. You have
relieved ne from all inconvenience. l can now
read and write for all hours without any pain,
and can see objects distant and near through
the same glasses with clearness and distinctness
that l have not experienced since my youth.
I am gratefully yours,
Pastor of St. Paups.
