nicely. J. F. Turner, from Sourwood
gave me call this morning and said
everything was getting along fine in
Sourwood cove and Uncle Tom was
ia king of moving to Alabama.
Once | had the sore eyes and made
some eye-water out of white arterial
and rain water and set it up on the
mantle by the clock. About 10 O clock
in the night my eyes woke me up
hurting / got up and went for my
eve water on the mantle.
Nv wife had moved it and had put
another bottle in the same place Just
like it, containing japanese oil, and
as | had not lit the lamp, l did not
notice the difference. / saturated my
eyes thoroughly and just as l set the
bottle back it commenced hurting

woke Mrs. Waterman and after me she
started over chairs, etc. went cry
