Prof. Bernhardt:-1 owe you g 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 me from all inconvenience. l can now
read and write for all hours without any pain,
and can SEQ objects distant and near through
the same glasses with clearness and distinctness
that l have not experienced since my youth.
